The content seems focused on the use of "used to" and "would" for describing past habits and situations that no longer exist. Here’s a brief summary of the key points:

### Key Points on "Used to" and "Would":

1. **Usage**:
- "Used to" and "would" describe past habits or situations that have changed.
- Example: "I used to live in London" or "When I was a child, I would play outside every day."

2. **Restrictions**:
- "Would" should not be used with state verbs (e.g., love, have).
- We don't use "used to" or "would" to specify duration; the past simple is used instead.
- Example: "She worked in a bank for six years."

3. **Negative Forms**:
- Phrases like "never used to" and "would never" are common.
- Example: "I never used to save money."

### Exercises:
1. **Correct the Sentences**:
- Dan used to work in a bank.
- I'm not used to wearing glasses, but I do now.
- Did you used to have long hair?
- My dad would have had a beautiful old sports car.
- Sally used to be a teacher for ten years.
- Joe used to smoke. He'd smoke 30 a day.

2. **Fill in the Blanks**:
- My dad **used to have** a credit card. He **got** rid of it...
- My granddad **was** a factory worker. He **worked** in a car factory...

3. **Rephrase Sentences**:
- Use "would" or "used to" to express the same ideas differently.

This exercise enhances understanding of how to describe past experiences and habits effectively using the correct grammar.

"Molly Higgins is a very rich woman and the proud owner of a ten-bedroom mansion near London. But she didn't used to be rich. She used to live in a small flat in a run-down area of Bristol and get by on state benefits. Every Thursday evening Molly would buy a EuroMillions lottery ticket. She'd always choose the same numbers but she didn't usually look at the winning numbers the following evening. "I never used to win anything, and I'd sometimes forget to look at the results," says Molly. But one Friday, when she checked the results she couldn't believe her eyes. She'd won the jackpot - €10 million!"

In this text:

  • "used to" is used to talk about past habits or states (e.g., "used to be rich," "used to live," "never used to win anything").
  • "would" is used to describe repeated actions or habits in the past (e.g., "would buy," "would choose," "would forget").
