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 💙

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".
