THE USE OF USED TO AND WOULD

The used of: would and used to has always been a problem for me until a couple of weeks ago. I didn¨t see the diference between them, but now I know that they have the same meaning (They both express past actions) ; except that used can express: location, state and possession.

ExampleS:

1. Mary used to live in Ica. (not any more)

2. I used to be a good student. (not any more)

3. I used to have three brothers (not any more)

I am so happy that I understood finally this significant part of grammar thanks to Mr. Jaramillo.

Thank you.

ACTION AND NON-ACTION VERBS - UNIT 3

I learned that some verbs cannot be used in the progressive tense and they are called non-action verbs . Non-action verbs indicate state, sense, desire, possession, or opinion.
Something that sounds interesting is that some of these verbs can be used like an action verbs and this depend of the situation .

examples :

I think God doesnt exist .
I am thinking what I have to do tomorrow .

She feels bad .
I am feeling their hands in my shoulders .

I have a new car .
I am having lunch with my family .

This soup tastes wonderful .
The chef is tasting the dish .

My mom's food smells great .
she is smelling the flowers .

I see the pìcture .
I am seeing a doctor .
