Hey guys.
'I USED TO SEE that film for the first time two years ago' is grammatically incorrect, but I'd be correct to assume that it's past simple.
If I were to write 'I WATCHED that film for the first time two years ago' it would make the sentence grammatically correct and it would still be past simple.
@Dantheman88,
Would I SAW that film for the first time two years ago. be a better option ?

Maybe the first sentence is not grammatically incorrect. Maybe it's simply semantically nonsensical.
If I were to write 'I WATCHED that book/dog/newspaper for the first time two years ago', would they be grammatically incorrect?
