would و used to چه فرقی دارن؟

Hey guys!

Today I’m gonna answer one of your most

asked questions!

What’s the difference between would and used to?

Well,

that’s super easy!

We use both of them

to talk about things in the past

which we don’t do now

or are not happening now.

But we use ‘used to’

to talk about actions or situations in the past

that continued for some time

and then stopped.

Check out these examples:

I used to live in Tennessee, but

I moved to New York last year.

New York’s awesome

but much more expensive!

When I was at school,

I used to play the guitar every Saturday.

God, I was awesome!

We only use ‘would’ to describe actions

or situations in the past

that were repeated many times.

Examples:

When I was at the university,

I would sleep until noon at the weekends.

Only at the weekends,

never missed a class!

My sister lived in Australia for many years,

she would always come home for Christmas.

She never got anyone any presents though,

which is okay.

I would always forget my homework,

until our teacher told my parents about it.

But why?

It was only between us Karen!

To make this clearer,

let’s look at one of our ‘used to’ sentences,

and see if we can change it into a

‘would’ sentence.

I used to live in Tennessee,

but I moved to New York last year.

Can we use ‘would’ instead of ‘used to’ here?

No, we can’t,

because living in Tennessee

wasn’t repeated again and again and again.

It’s simply a situation in the past.

Therefore,

only ‘used to’ is good in this sentence.

Sometimes both ‘used to’ and ‘would’

are OK in one sentence:

“When I was a kid,

I used to play with my friends every day.

This is an action that was repeated many times,

so we can say:

“When I was a kid,

I would play with my friends every day.

All right guys,

now, write a sentence with “would”

and another one with “used to”.

I’m gonna read every comment

and answer your questions!

Bye!

yeah!
