grammar - I lived vs I used to live


I cannot see any difference between these two sentences. I assume both express the same but what is the difference? I thought that "used to" is used to describe an action that was happening in the past...but should "live" be considered as an action?



I used to live in Prague 5 years ago.
I lived in Prague 5 years ago.




Answer



There is no difference between the two. Both mean the same.
