Write the answers

Study the rule. Rewrite the sentences using "would".
The rule
We can use "would" instead of "used to" when a time is mentioned:

"When I was five, I used to visit my grandparents in their village." — " When I was five, I would visit my grandparents in their village."

Note! Both of these sentences have the same meaning.

If the sentence is not about a repeating habit/action or does not include a time expression, we can not use "would":

"I used to play soccer." — "I would play soccer."

It is more natural to say: "I used to play soccer. I would practise it every day."
