  3. Don't worry about it! The difference between "used to" & "would" will not be tested in the midterm.

  8. When you talk about actions in the past , you can use both 'Would' and 'used to'. However, when you talk about states, you can't use 'would'.
    For Ex. "I used to live with my parents when I was at university." CORRECT
    But NOT "I would live with my parents when I was at university." INCORRECT
    To Live is a state verb, not an action verb.
