GRAMMAR
used to and would
We use used to + infinitive to talk about habits and states in the past which are now finished or no longer true:
I used to read childrentasks comics. (Now, I read newspapers.)
Leo used to hate spinach. (Now, he likes it.)
What games did you use to play? (when you were a child)
We use would + infinitive in the same way as used to,
to talk about habits in the past:
I would get up every morning and go for a run.
(It was my habit in the past.)
to avoid repeating used to when describing past ‘ habits:
We used to put everything in the car the night before our holiday. We used to would leave before the sun was up and we used to ’d stop for breakfast on the way.
Mind the trap!
Don’t confuse used to (for habits/states in the past) with the regular verb to use.
I used to have a Star Wars rucksack for my books.
I used my old Star Wars rucksack for my books today.
Mind the trap!
Always use used to, not would for states in the past, and for questions about past habits and states:
I used to have two best friends at school.
NOT I would have two best friends ...
Did you use to listen in lessons?
