I used to see many KZbin channels because they were not fun to watch. However I found this channel and I would love to continue to watch it from now on!

I used to love to study English by reading books, but now I only study this beautiful language by watching SMASH English videos. I’d love if Tobey were my teacher!

[@SMASHEnglish]

😂 AWESOME!

[@evamur1661]

Helpful and very detailed explanation. Thank you Toby!!

[@cristinamaria2059]

Thank you so much for all your amazing work 😍 I used to believe that would should be used for only past actions and never for past states, and I'd only apply that in my English, but now I know that I used to be ignorant about that and I'd have a wrong belief. Thanks, Toby 💙

[@thecuriousone1790]

what a great lesson! Like! I loved it that you said about WOULD in so much detail. I'm nerdy and the video was pure gold. I have a question, though. Is it possible to use WOULD in negative sentences or questions when you talk about past habits? Many textbooks say it isn't. However, I've seen sentences, like', "When I was a kid, I'd never sit around doing nothing".

[@SMASHEnglish]

Of course you can! In fact it’s not gonna common at all. ‘And what would you do when you were bored’ etc. a lot of research actually shows we use would more for past habits than used to. Textbooks are weird. Thanks for the comment!

I used to thinks english is not my cup of tea😂

[@marsel8718]

Too complicated

[@SMASHEnglish]

Hey bro. OK, so... my advice then 😂.. at the B2 First level do not use WOULD for past states. Only use USED TO. When telling a story about a past routine introduce it with USED and then transition to would. "I used to be overweight. I'd eat far too much every evening and I'd drink excessively". I hope that helps a bit.
