Used to / Would

Use:

We say Used to to talk about something that was true in the past, but is not true now.

There used to be a park here, but now there’s a shopping centre.
My grandmother used to have beautiful blonde hair, but now her hair is grey.

You can say used to to talk about states (things that were true for a long period of time) or repeated actions (things that happened several times).

I used to live in Denver. (True for a long period of time)
I used to go to the park every Friday. (A repeated action)

                Write adverbs before used to.
                I always used to cycle to school.
                I never used to eat vegetables.

You can use Would in a similar way to used to. It describes things that were true in the past but are not true now.

When I was a child, my dad would read to me every night.

Would CANNOT be used to talk about states. It can only be used to talk about repeated actions.
~~There would be a park here.~~        =>           There used to be a park here.

                Write adverbs after would.
                I would always talk to my grandma when I had a problem.
