I Plan on Importing the Text Below into My Anki Deck.
I want to make sure that these sentences are correct, as they will show up frequently during my Anki reviews. Anki is an electronic flashcard app that helps with memorization.
Please correct all of the following sentences.
***
Q: What is the grammar term for the word within the quotation marks?
It makes this SUV almost as fun in the snow as a Subaru Imprezza (used to come "own" one).
A: the bare infinitive
PS: As far as I remember, it in that sentence refers to a specific make of tires.

Sorry for the confusion I made. I brought the original sentence from the consumer's comment on a website. It was quite confusing to me, then I supposed that it uses "come own" as a verb + bare infinitive combination. Now I find it is grammatically incorrect. Thank you for the corrections.

"used to come own one" doesn't make sense. "Used to come" usually refers to habitually going to a place in the past. For example: "I used to come eat here."
I added a subject because otherwise it's a sentence fragment and isn't technically grammatically correct but sometimes native English speakers will drop the subject like that in casual speech when it's obvious.
A: the bare initiafinitive
A: the bare infinitive
With the correction above, 'own' is no longer a bare infinitive. So you can change this to 'to-infinitive' or come up with new example sentence.
PS: As far as I remember, it in that sentence refers to a specific make of tires.

I'm not quite sure how Anki decks work, but hopefully this helps and all makes sense!

How about the following sentence? I figured that the writer might have shortened this. As I am not sure whether you have already referred to this sentence, I come to ask you.
I used to come to own one.

'I used to come to own one' is wrong, and will not make sense to a native English speaker. 'I came to own one' is a correct sentence, and I think is as close as you can get to the original sentence and still have a proper sentence but it has a slightly different meaning to 'I used to own one.' 'I came to own one' emphasizes there was a cause that lead me to own one.
I put 'I used to own one' in my correction because it made the most sense in that context.
I hope that helps!
