In English we use the phrase “used to” to indicate repetitive events.

e.g. I used to go to morning walk when I was in school.

He used to play bad before he got the coaching.

Similar structure in Marathi is :-

Subject      verb+suffix

मी                 कर  + आयचो

Pronoun in English	Pronoun in Marathi	suffix	Transliteration
I (male)	मी	आयचो	Ayacho
I (female)	मी	आयचे	Ayache
we	आम्ही	आयचो	Ayacho
we ( listener including)	आपण	आयचो	Ayacho
You (singular male)	तू	आयचास	AyachAs
You (singular female)	तू	आयचीस	AyachIs
You (plural)	तुम्ही	आयचात	AyachAt
He / That (m.) / This (m.)	तो / तो / हा	आयचा	AyachA
She / That (f.)/ This (f.)	ती / ती / ही	आयची	AyachI
It / That(n.) / This (n.)	ते / ते / हे	आयचे	Ayache
They (Plural of He)  /Those (m.) /These (m.)	ते / ते / हे	आयचे	Ayache
They (Plural of She) / Those (f.) / These (f.)	त्या / त्या / ह्या	आयच्या	AyachyA
They (Plural of it) / Those (n.) / These (n.)	ती / ती / ही	आयची	AyachI

Examples :-

I used to do :- मी करायचो  ( mI karAyacho )

She used to speak :- ती बोलायची (tI bolAyachI )

He used to dance :- तो  नाचायचा (to nAchAyachA )

They(plural of he)  used to eat mangos :- ते आंबे खायचे (te AMbe khAyache )

They(plural of she) used to play cricket :- त्या क्रिकेट खेळायच्या  (tyA krikeT kheLAyachyA )

Even the verb “to be” i.e. असणे(“asaNe”) in Marathi can be used this wasy

He used to be there :- तो तिकडे असायचा (to tikaDe asAyachA)

She used to be quiet :- ती शांत असायची (tI shAMt asAyachI )

Negative sentences.
Negative sentences can be formed by adding नाही ( nAhI ) after verb form. Depending on subject नाही/नाहीस/नाहीत ( nAhI/nAhIs/nAhIt  ) is added.

e.g.
I did not use to do :- मी करायचो नाही ( mI karAyacho nAhI)

She did not use to speak :- ती बोलायची नाही (tI bolAyachI nAhI)

You did not use to dance :- तू नाचायचा नाहीस ( tU nAchAyachA nAhIs )

They(plural of he)  did not use to eat mangos :- ते आंबे खायचे नाहीत  (te AMbe khAyache nAhIT)
She did not use to be quiet :- ती शांत असायची नाही (tI shAMt asAyachI nAhI)

For “to be” i.e. असणे(“asaNe”) a negative form can be created by prefixing न(n)
i.e.  न(n) + असायचा (asAyachA) -> नसायचा ( nasAyachA )
i.e.  न(n) + असायची(asAyachI) -> नसायची ( nasAyachI)

He did not use to be there :- तो तिकडे नसायचा (to tikaDe nasAyachA)

She did not use to be quiet :- ती शांत नसायची (tI shAMt nasAyachI )

In English the present tense of “used to“ conveys different meaning. It conveys familiarity of action.

e.g I am used to lifting heavy weights.

Here “am used to” indicates that action of “lifting heavy weights” is familiar/easier to me.

So in English we do not have any parallel phrase to indicate present tense of “used to”.

So you need to understand it without example from English.

“used to” says that event occurred frequently in past.

Then present tense form of "used to" in marathi will indicate that event occurs frequenly in present.

Sentence formation is

Subject            verb+त(t)          form of of असणे(“asaNe”)

मी                     कर+त               असतो

The form of “asaNe” is created using suffixes for Simple Present Tense. For simplicity I have given it readymade here.

Pronoun in English	Pronoun in Marathi	Suffix for common verbs in Future Continuous	Suffix in Marathi for simple present tense	Form of असणे(“asaNe”) in by attaching suffix	Transliteration
I (male)	मी	त (t)	तो	असतो	asato

You (plural)	तुम्ही		ता	असता	asatA
He / That (m.) / This (m.)	तो / तो / हा		तो	असतो	asato
She / That (f.)/ This (f.)	ती / ती / ही		ते	असते	asate
It / That(n.) / This (n.)	ते / ते / हे		ते	असते	asate
They (Plural of He)  /Those (m.) /These (m.)	ते / ते / हे		तात	असतात	asatAt

He is used to dance :-  तो नाचत असतो  (to nAchat asato )

She is used to speak :- ती बोलत असते ( tI bolat asate )

Those girls are used to laugh :- त्या मुली हसत असतात  ( tyA mulI hasat asatAt )

I am used to be there :- मी तिकडे असतो (mI tikaDe asato )

She is used to be quiet :- ती शांत असते  (tI shAMt asate   ) 

Negative sentences
As seen in previous section For “to be” i.e. असणे(“asaNe”) a negative form can be created by prefixing न(n)

i.e.  न(n) + असतात(asatAt) -> नसतात ( nasatAt )
i.e.  न(n) + असते(asate) -> नसायची ( नसते)

He is not used to dance :-  तो नाचत नसतो (to nAchat nasato )

She is not used to speak :- ती बोलत नसते ( tI bolat nasate )
