This is a sentence I made up myself.
A colleague John left the company for a job somewhere else. A new hire comes to sit at the desk. In a conversation about the desk with the new guy, can we use “used to” to express where a former colleague sat in a company as in “John used to sit here”?
Taking this further to generally expressing the idea about what a former colleague did in a company, can we use the phrase “Jonh used to do this (that)… and now you take it over”? (assume the listener knows who John is.)
