Question

Diferencia entre used to y would

Answer 1

Used to and would are both use to describe something that happened regularly in the past but doesn't happen any longer, as shown in the following two sentences about quitting smoking:

I used to smoke, but I quit last year.  Whenever I craved a cigarette, I would chew gum instead. 

 

However, there are two important differences between used to and would. The first difference is that would should not be used unless it has already been established that the time frame is in the past, while used to does not require this.
