used to

One of the functions of this expression is to talk about repeated actions in the past which we don't do in the present.

Habits are things that we do regularly, from the past to the present time. Sometimes we can use some modals and semi-modals to refer to habits.

Semi-modals are the subcategory of modal verbs. So it is good to learn the difference between modal verbs and semi-modal verbs to use them properly.

'Would' and 'used to' are used to talk about habits which is why many learners confuse them. In this lesson, we will find out their difference.
