Past habits: used to and would

This unit focuses on expressing past habits and situations using 'used to' and 'would'. It explains the difference between the two and how they're used in affirmative, negative, and question forms. The text provides examples illustrating how to talk about past habits, situations, and states. 'Used to' is used for all three, while 'would' is mostly used for actions. There is also an exercise included that can help enhance understanding.

• Used to: This explains how to use "used to" to describe past habits and states. Examples demonstrate its use for habits (We used to go out every night), situations (We used to live in the city), and states (We used to be city people). It also covers negative and question forms and emphasizes the correct structure.
• Would: This section describes how to use "would" to talk about past habits, focusing on actions (We'd go out to eat). It emphasizes that "would" should not be used for states or situations. The text also highlights when neither "used to" nor "would" is appropriate, such as for single past actions, duration, or the number of repetitions of an action.
• Comparing 'used to' and 'would': The presentation emphasizes that 'used to' can be used for habits, situations and states in the past but 'would' can only be used for actions. It is important to use the correct one when referring to activities that happened in the past.
