Accepted Answer

Перевод задания: Замените подчёркнутые слова на used to или would. По возможности используйте would.

1. I would tell my parents I’d be the president of a company with a fancy car and a big house by the time I was 21. (Я рассказывал родителям, что к 21 году стану президентом компании, у меня будут шикарная машина и большой дом.)

2. I used to believe that companies were going to fight to offer me a job because I was going to be a great innovator like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. (Раньше я верил, что компании будут бороться за возможность предложить мне работу, потому что я стану великим новатором, как Билл Гейтс или Стив Джобс.) Используем used to, потому что believe обозначает состояние.

3. I didn’t use to feel that further study was necessary and I wanted to get a job and start my ‘amazing’ career as soon as possible. (Раньше я не считал, что дальнейшее обучение необходимо, и хотел как можно скорее найти работу и начать свою «замечательную» карьеру.)

4. I would say that I’d be able to ‘do whatever’ and ‘go wherever’ because I’d be so rich and successful. (Я говорил, что смогу «делать что угодно» и «ездить куда угодно», потому что буду очень богатым и успешным.)

5. I didn’t use to know much about real life back then. (Тогда я мало знал о настоящей жизни.) Используем used to, потому что know обозначает состояние.
