과거 습관을 나타내는 구문의 상세 비교

Both express past habits, but 'would' only works for repeated actions (not states). You can say 'I would visit her every week' but NOT 'I would live in Paris.' For first introduction of the habit, use 'used to.'

两者都表达过去的习惯,但'would'只适用于重复的动作(不适用于状态)。你可以说'I would visit her every week',但不能说'I would live in Paris'。首次介绍习惯时,使用'used to'。
Ambos expresan hábitos pasados, pero 'would' solo funciona para acciones repetidas (no estados). Puedes decir 'I would visit her every week' pero NO 'I would live in Paris.' Para la primera introducción del hábito, usa 'used to.'
両方とも過去の習慣を表しますが、「would」は繰り返しの動作のみに使え(状態には使えない)。「I would visit her every week」とは言えますが、「I would live in Paris」とは言えません。習慣を最初に紹介する時は「used to」を使います。
둘 다 과거 습관을 나타내지만, 'would'는 반복된 동작에만 사용할 수 있습니다(상태에는 사용 불가). 'I would visit her every week'라고 할 수 있지만, 'I would live in Paris'라고는 할 수 없습니다. 습관을 처음 소개할 때는 'used to'를 사용하세요.
