The document discusses the differences between the phrases "used to + infinitive" and "would + verb" when describing past habits or repeated actions in English. "Used to + infinitive" is used to talk about past habits or actions that no longer occur, while "would + verb" describes repeated actions that took place in the past, without specifying whether they still occur. Examples are provided for how to properly use each phrase structure.

Used to + infinitive
We use used + infinitive to talk about past habits, repeated actions or states that we no longer do:
 I used to bite my nails but now I don’t.
 My father used to drive me to school but now I walk there by myself.
 We used to play clapping games but now children like playing on computer games.
Would + verb
We use would + verb to talk about repeated actions in the past We don’t generally use would in the
negative or interrogative form to describe past actions.
 When we were children, we WOULD visit my grandmother every Sunday.
 My Dad would always read to me story before bad.
