“I used to…” & “I would…”: Talking about the past in English

Learn two natural and easy ways to talk about the past in English. “Used to” and “would” can both be used to talk about things that were done in the past, but there are differences in how we use these. In this English lesson, you will learn exactly when to use “I used to…” and when to use “I would…”. We will also talk about the natural pronunciation of “used to”.

You are good at teaching English. Thanks a lot for your effort.

[@أُسامةحُسينفالِح-و6ج]

I’ve learned more from this channel than my entire school time, schooling and education are two different different things nowadays and definitely the former is not necessary anymore to get educated

[@yunchinghsu5904]

Thank you for clarifying these two differences.

[@jeovanigaytan3942]

Thanks for these tips, it seemed pretty easy to explain that information.

[@guadalupelobato755]

[@cccaurora]

Dear Ronnie: during my period of living in China, I would watch your videos every week at night in my apartment, and something cool happens now: I just found your videos today again! and you looks awesome as the first day that I met you in your videos; I learnt a lot from you, to be honest I used to have a crush on you; you still have your charisma, your charm, and that jolly thing that makes your vids awesome. May God bless you and keep posting, sincerely, your admirer.

[@alexserghill]

You make me smile. You're very charismatic. It's so cute. I love your videos! Thank you, Ronnie!❤

[@НастяДенис-я9ю]

Thank you for your video. I considered this topic to be difficult. However, you explained everything really clearly. I have never heard or maybe I've never paid attention to the pronunciation of "used to". So I was shocked that native speakers pronouns it like "useta" I always learn smth new from your videos. I like your approach to every topic and how funny you are. Moreover, it's easy for me to perceive your pronunciation and accent. That's why I can watch your video without subbtitles

[@Pochaco2007]

Ronnie in 20 years: "I used to jump up at the beginning of every video, but my knees hurt so much now"

[@wilsonjunior306]

😅

[@ocraggy]

Your explanation is great! I had a bad English teacher and I didn't know when to you "would" and that's why I avoided the word. Now I get it and I will use it with confidence. :) I used to eat lots of meat but now I can't because of my disease. I would eat lots of meat when we celebrated my friend's wedding - If my doctor had seen me, she would have scolded me. :D

[@nadiyanadi182]

Allow me to guid you according to your example : i use to eat a lots of meat but now i can't, the correct answer is: I used to eat a lots of meat but now i don't , in the past you use the verv in past " used " but now you use the verb in the simple present " i don't and not i can't .

[@OUR-]

Hey Ronnie I have a suggestion 😎. Why don't you take a break from your amazing lessons and talk us about yourself more, your life, habits, hobby maybe, childhood, study years, family...etc. I'm sure we all wanna know about you more. As for me, I'm really interested in these things, you know. When the famous people get to me a bit closer it's motivates me to learn English so much. I'm sure another ones too. :)

[@olivierdewit9230]

Thanks I could not make the difference while hearing them but I surely can now.... Thanks thanks thanks

Thanks a lot ma'am 🙏. you are a good teacher 🙏.

[@Евгений-л9щ2ч]

M. Hewings names "routine" another word - habit. If we connect these two words, then the difference between USED TO and WOULD becomes clear. Thank you so much!
