Task 3. Choose an appropriate verb for each sentence

1. Dance used to be her main subject. ("Used to" is used for past states; "would" is not used with stative verbs like "be")
2. I used to really love playing tennis when I was younger. ("Love" is a stative verb)
3. He used to / would never let me do the things that I wanted to do. (Both are possible for past habits, though "would" implies characteristic behavior)

5. She used to / would sit before the fireplace unconsciously watching the fire. (Both are correct for repeated past actions)
