Nice video. Clearly explained. Only thing you could have perhaps mentioned is that 'would' is often preferred to emphasize nostalgia and fond memories, whereas 'used to' is more factual.

[thecuriousone]

what a great lesson! 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".
