WOULD/USED TO
| Would + infinitive We can use 'would + infinitive' to talk about a habit or repeated action in the past. We usually use 'would + infinitive' in this way when we're telling a story about the past. When I was a student, we would often have a drink after class on a Friday. When I lived in Italy, we would go to a little restaurant near our house. However, we don't use 'would + infinitive' to talk about states in the past | Used to + infinitive We use this expression to talk about habits or repeated actions in the past which we don't do in the present. We also use it to talk about statesin the past which are no longer true. I used to have long hair (but now I have short hair). He used to smoke (but now he doesn't smoke). They used to live in India (but now they live in Germany). |
