"They used to sleep in the day."

Translation: वे दिन में सोते थे।

[Jasleen2408]

Used to is past tense so we can say pehle

[vinay92]

You can add पहले but it is not required. 'सोते थे' is in the past imperfect tense (which is absent in English) and conveys the same thing as 'used to sleep'.

Thanks for mentioning it. This info that it is called "past imperfect tense" and lack of it in english thereof is the info that bugged for me quite some time.

Not mandatory or necessary.

"Thin mein ve sothe the" is this wrong?
