Talking About Past Habits and Situations

Names: ………………………………………………………….

"Used to" and "Would"

1. Explanation

🔹 "Used to"

We use "used to" to talk about:
✅ Past habits (things we did regularly in the past but don’t do now).
✅ Past states (situations that were true in the past but have changed).

📌 Form:

• Positive: I used to play football every weekend.
• Negative: I didn’t use to like coffee.
• Question: Did you use to have long hair?

🚫 We don't use "would" for past states. I used to have long hair. (Correct). I would have long hair. (Incorrect)

🔹 "Would"

We use "would" to talk about:
✅ Repeated past actions and habits (but NOT past states).

📌 Form:

• Positive: When I was a child, I would visit my grandma every Sunday.
• Negative: She wouldn’t eat vegetables when she was younger.

🚫 No question form with "would" for past habits. Use "Did you use to...?" instead.
