'Would' can describe past habits similar to 'used to,' but only for actions, not states. You can say 'I would visit my grandma every weekend' but NOT 'I would live in Paris' (state). 'Would' often sounds more formal or literary.

'Would'可以描述过去的习惯，类似于'used to'，但只用于动作，不用于状态。你可以说'I would visit my grandma every weekend'，但不能说'I would live in Paris'（状态）。'Would'通常听起来更正式或更文学化。

'Would' puede describir hábitos pasados similar a 'used to', pero solo para acciones, no estados. Puedes decir 'I would visit my grandma every weekend' pero NO 'I would live in Paris' (estado). 'Would' suena más formal o literario.

「Would」は「used to」と同様に過去の習慣を表せますが、動作のみで状態には使えません。「I would visit my grandma every weekend」とは言えますが、「I would live in Paris」（状態）とは言えません。「Would」はよりフォーマルまたは文学的に聞こえます。

'Would'는 'used to'와 비슷하게 과거의 습관을 표현할 수 있지만, 행동에만 사용되고 상태에는 사용할 수 없습니다. 'I would visit my grandma every weekend'는 가능하지만 'I would live in Paris' (상태)는 불가능합니다. 'Would'는 더 격식적이거나 문학적인 느낌을 줍니다.
