How do we tell 'usò' (I used) from 'uso' (I use) when spoken? Just context? (Upon hearing 'uso' I wrote 'I use a dictionary' which was rejected)
"Uso" and "usò" are pronounced differently so you have to train to notice the difference between them. In a certain way "uso" has a "longer o" than "usò" which has the accent. Finally I would suggest you to hear some recordings of these 2 words. I hope it could help you. Good luck! :D
Io usai il dizionario, lui/egli usò il dizionario. The ò makes the difference as it means it was in past and the sound is more long then a nornal o in "uso"
Sono italiano! Se vuoi posso insegnarti anche le frasi più complesse e incomprensibili!
Anche io sono italiano, il dizionario aiuta molto ma in realtà per imparare a pieno il significato di frasi e parole serve fare conversazione :P ciao

My exercise gave uso, with accent, as '(he/she/it)used....' What would ' I used...' then be?

The drop down hint for usò was "he/she/it/you used" but I was marked wrong when I translated it as "You used the dictionary". But what was wrong with that response?
Usò is the verb that implies (lui/lei). Io usai, tu usasti, egli usò, noi usammo, voi usaste, essi usarono.
