Did you know that there is another way to say 'used to + infinitive' by using 'would + infinitive'? Yes, there is! However, there is a catch. Let's look at some examples. I used to play football every Sunday when I was a child. I would play football every Sunday when I was a child. --> These sentences have the same exact meaning! We can 'used to + infinitive' with state verbs and action verbs to talk about things in the past that are no longer true now. We can used 'would + infinitive' with ONLY actions verbs (play, give, cook, etc) to talk about things in the past that are no longer true now.
