Learn English with Steve-Peppy 15 (used to vs would)

[pamelbia2011]

Oh, used to is used when in the past you've been accustomed to doing such an action.

[palabrasquietas]

They would use it in the kitchen.

[palabrasquietas]

I think they could use it to take off water.

Tell me the difference:

I had $100 , i didn't buy the microwave

I had $100 , i wouldn''t buy the microwave

thanx

[ayspeakmahmind]

It's highly informative. ty

Dear Steve,

Is it correct to say we use "used to" for actions that we did in the past but we no longer do at the present time, and we use "would" for actions we repeatedly did in the past and we possibly do in the present as well?

Example: I used to play with my toys when I was a child. [=I'm an adult now and no longer play with my toys.]

My niece would play with her toys whenever we went to my grandma's. [= She probably still plays with her toys.]

Cheers,

Elley

Steve, I have a question about this modal verb... I have seen some sentences like: 'I was used to going to the circus on sundays.'

and i'm not sure about this 'to going'... is it right?

craedmg: your problem or isuue is that your ear is not used to listening american native speaker, persona ke habla ingles desde nacimiento, yo tenia el mismo problema y , i have improved it now that im living in US. yo aorendi ingles en mi pais y cuando vine a US no entendia nada, aun simples expresiones que yo sabia leer y escribir pero cuando las escuchaba de un american i didn't get it.

hi Craedmg,

That's great that my videos are helping you during your vacation. Many people have the same problem as you.

They can understand, but they have difficulty speaking. It's really important to find some people to practise your speaking with. You can also learn a lot of the other person's culture that way too!!!

[craedmg]

ahora que estoy de vacaciones me han ayudado mucho estos 14 videos y espero ver todos, ya que no son aburridos para mí ya que yo tambien he tenido varias veces las mismas dudas o preguntas que se ven publicadas en los videos, solo tengo un problema:

entiendo la mayoria de las palabras de el inglés, o inclusive algunas fraces, pero al momento de encontrarme con una persona que habla únicamente ingles no puedo entablar una conversación ... porqué?

saludos
