The document discusses the use of "used to" and "would" to talk about past habits and repeated actions. "Used to" is used with state verbs to talk about past states, such as "they used to live in Madrid." "Would" can also be used to talk about repeated past actions, like "we would play cards in the evening." "Be used to" and "get used to" mean becoming accustomed to something, such as "we are used to his character" and "they will soon get used to getting up early."
