i can answer your question , " used to " \" didn't used to '" + infinitive verb to talk about states or repeated actions in the past , For example : i used to want to be a doctor , but now i want to be a teacher . we used to go on a holiday every summer . Use " would " + infinitive verb to talk about repeated habits in the past ( not a states ) . for example : Every afternoon , my friends and i would talk for hours on the phone . After dinner , Grandfather would sit and tell us all stories from long ago . Rasha
