You were an excellent sprinter in your school days. You could run the 100 metres in under 12 seconds:

  1. I use to be an excellent athlete in my school days.

  2. Myself was an excellent athlete in my school days.

  3. Myself used to be an excellent athlete in my school days.

  4. I used to be an excellent athlete in my school days.

D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is D because 'used to be' correctly describes a past habit or state (being an excellent athlete in school days) that is no longer true. Options A and B incorrectly use 'use to' which is grammatically invalid; it should be 'used to'. Option C incorrectly uses 'myself' as a subject pronoun; 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun and cannot be the subject of a sentence.
