2. What is the difference between “used to” and “would”?

We use would also to talk about :

things that often happened in the past but don’t happen now.
‘Would’ is slightly more formal than ‘used to’.
Example: In the 1800s, people would travel on ships.

We don’t use would to talk about past situations or states. We use used to.

Example: My dad used to be a driver, but now he is retired.

NOT My dad would be a driver, but now he is retired.
