Rule: Would & used to

To talk about habits and repeated actions in the past, we can use (didn't) use(d) to and would(n't).

- We use (didn't) use(d) with both habits and situations

-  We only use would(n't) with habits

Please note! - didn't use to

When 'used to' becomes negative, only did is still in the Past. You never have two verbs in the Past!
