Continued Exploration of Past Habits
This page continues the discussion on past habits, focusing on the use of "would + infinitive" for expressing recurring actions in the past.
The guide emphasizes that "would + infinitive" is used specifically for describing typical behaviors or actions of a person in the past, but not for states.
Example: "Our English teacher would give us loads of homework."
Highlight: It's important to note the distinction between "used to" and "would" in expressing past habits. While both can describe recurring past actions, "used to" can also describe past states, whereas "would" is limited to actions.
This structure is particularly useful for narrating past events and describing someone's characteristic behaviors in storytelling or recounting memories.
Vocabulary: Bezokolicznik - This Polish term refers to the infinitive form of a verb in English, which is the base form of the verb preceded by "to" e.g.,"togive,""towatch".
The concise nature of this page suggests that it serves as a continuation or reinforcement of the concepts introduced on the previous page, providing additional examples and emphasizing key points about expressing past habits in English.
