La Rutina Diaria Chapter Question

Question

I am having an exam on daily activities soon and one of our review questions is this: "¿Usas un despertador para despertarte?" We just have to reply to it correctly.

My reply is: "Sí, me uso un despertador para despertarme."

I am hoping someone could tell me if I have conjugated usar correctly. I was wavering between uso and usé, but I am not sure which to use and why?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Good try and yes you conjugated usar correctly as 'uso' = I use (good for habitual actions).

Just one error - no 'me' at the beginning ....

Sí uso un despertador (the verb is usar and it's not pronominial usarse, so you don't need a 'me' before it) .... para despertarme.

But other than that well done and good on you for posting your attempt and not just asking for the answer!
