sometimes 'would' is shortened to -'d-
"I'd play tennis every wednesday when I was ten"
Slide 11 - Slide
How do you make it?
normal past simple: "I took the bus to school"
with 'would': "I would take the bus to school"
The verb is different.
do you know why?
when you add an adverb of frequency it comes after would
"I would always take the bus to school"
Slide 12 - Slide
'used to' vs 'would'
used to: past states and habbits
would: repeated past actions (habbits)
There is a little bit of overlap.
"I used to take the bus to school when I was little"
"I would take the bus to school when I was little"
Both are correct.
Slide 13 - Slide
used to vs would
would is never used for a state
"I would live in london when I was a little girl"
"I used to live in london when I was a little girl"
Slide 14 - Slide
'used to' vs 'would'
when you talk about things in the past, 'used to' is often used first, followed by 'would'.
"I used to live in london where I would walk past the london eye every day. I used to love going to the museum where I would look at all the pretty pieces of art"
