LANGUAGE NOTE Highlight that neither used to nor would can be used to refer to single actions in the past. For example, it would not be possible to use either form in this sentence: I moved to Barcelona in 2023. When students describe habitual actions and temporary or repeated events in the past, it’s a good idea to vary their choice between used to, would and the past simple to make their descriptions more interesting. An important difference between used to and would is that would is not used with stative verbs such as love, be, understand and feel . The use of would is more restricted than that of used to . Advise students that if they aren’t sure which one to use, it’s best to choose used to.
