​Contrasting past and prsent

​•We use used to and would for habits in the past.

I would go to the gym every day.

My sister used to have really long hair.

There is no equivalent form of used to or would in the present.

I usually go to my parents’ house on Sundays. NOT I use to go to my parents’ house on Sundays.

•Would is common when we are telling a story or remembering an event. Those were the best years of my life. I would spend all day on the beach and go out every night.

•For states in the past, we only use used to, not would .

I used to live in Dubai. NOT I would live in Dubai.

•We can always use the Past simple instead of used to or would.

I went to the gym every day.

My sister had really long hair.

still

​These phrases mean that an action or state was true in the past, but is not true now.

I used to play volleyball every Friday, but I don’t any longer.

Andrew doesn’t drink coffee anymore – it gives him a headache.

​not… any longer/not…anymore

We use still when we want to emphasize that an action or state has not stopped or changed, but continues up to the present.

I still remember how frightened I was.
