Would i used to w skrócie

Used to: dawne nawyki i dawne stany

Used to mówi, że kiedyś tak było, a teraz już nie jest. Pasuje do czynności, które się powtarzały, i do stanów: co miałeś, kim byłeś, gdzie mieszkałeś.

I used to play the piano. (Kiedyś grałem na pianinie.)
We used to have a cat. (Kiedyś mieliśmy kota.)

Would: powtarzane czynności we wspomnieniach

Would też opowiada o tym, co robiłeś regularnie w przeszłości. Brzmi trochę jak opowieść, dlatego często zaczynasz od used to, a dalej opowiadasz z would.

Every summer we would visit my aunt in Florida. (Każdego lata jeździliśmy do cioci na Florydę.)
My dad would read to us before bed. (Tata czytał nam przed snem.)

Stany tylko z used to

Przy czasownikach, które opisują stan, a nie czynność (have, be, live, know, love, own), would nie pasuje. Mówisz She used to be shy, a nie She would be shy.

I used to have a beard. (Kiedyś nosiłem brodę.)
She used to be really shy. (Kiedyś była bardzo nieśmiała.)

Jedno zdarzenie: Past Simple

Jeśli coś stało się raz, w konkretnym momencie, nie używasz ani would, ani used to. Wystarczy zwykły Past Simple.

I met my wife in 2015. (Poznałem żonę w 2015 roku.)
We moved to Denver last year. (W zeszłym roku przeprowadziliśmy się do Denver.)
