SDC - Used to and Would for past habits - Grammar and exercises.











III. We can used to to talk about events we repeatedly did in the past. Then we complement with would to continue the narration. If we want to talk about a specific event, we have to use simple past and past continuous.
Think about how your life has changed since you got your first job.


  • What did you use to do in your first job?
  • What would you do? What duties did you use to have?
  • What would you do in your weekends? What do you do now?
  • Talk about an important event in your first job?
  • What happened?
  • When did it happen?
  • What were you doing when it happened?
  • How did it all turn out?

"I started to work at an office downtown. I used to make interviews to people. I would interview around 5 to 8 people a day. The interviews would last 40 minutes so when I finished an interview I'd go talk to my colleagues.
I used to have my weekends free, so I would go out every Saturday night with my friends. Now we all have more responsibilities and even families so we don't go out that frequently.
I remember one day I interview a person for a position in the company. I was talking to a couple of friends at work when this candidate, Jackie came in. We had such a great interview we became good friends. We are now good friends since that day."
