Correct Answer: used to spend


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The sentence is talking about what the speaker used to do in the past. Thus, the sentence should be in the simple past tense. Hence, used is the correct usage along with the infinitive form of the verb to spend to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: As a child, I used to spend a lot of time with my grandparents.
