Tip

Gebruik de woorden: situatie, gewoonte, herhaalde actie

Zet de zinnen bij de juiste beschrijving:

Herhaalde actie in het verleden

Situatie / toestand in het verleden

There used to be school here.

I would read a lot, but now I just watch TV.

My father used to smoke, but he quit last year.

He used to work at a school in his younger days.

Every Saturday I would go on a long bike ride.

My dad used to read me bed time stories.

We used to live in a big house.

Used to vs Would

• Used to gebruiken we wanneer we praten over situaties of toestanden die in het verleden waar waren, maar nu niet meer:
  We used to live in New York when I was a kid.
  
  
• Used to en would kunnen we gebruiken om herhaalde acties of gewoontes in het verleden aan te geven:
  My father used / would smoke three packs a day.
