Перевод задания: Посмотрите на предложения и решите, можно ли использовать Past Simple, used to или would. Выберите правильный вариант или варианты. В двух предложениях правильны все три варианта.

1. When we were young, we would stay / used to stay at the same hotel every year. — Когда мы были молодыми, мы каждый год останавливались в одном и том же отеле. Оба варианта подходят для повторявшегося действия в прошлом.
2. Karl would often cycle / often used to cycle / often cycled to school. — Карл часто ездил в школу на велосипеде. Подходят все три варианта: действие повторялось в прошлом.
3. Where would you live / did you use to live / did you live before you moved here? — Где ты жил до того, как переехал сюда? Подходят все три варианта.
4. I never used to like / never liked taking the bus to school. — Мне никогда не нравилось ездить в школу на автобусе. Would never like здесь не подходит: речь о прошлом состоянии, а не о повторявшемся действии.
5. Did you use to have / Did you have curly hair when you were a child? — У тебя были кудрявые волосы, когда ты был ребёнком? Подходят оба варианта. Would you have не подходит для описания состояния.
6. There didn’t use to be so many cyclists in the park before. — Раньше в парке не было так много велосипедистов. Используется конструкция didn’t use to be для прошлого состояния.
