Would and used to
When we talk about repeated events in the past that don't happen now, we can use either would or used to + infinitive. However, we can use would only if the time reference is clear.
-
Whenever we went to my uncle's house, we would / used to play in the garden.
We don't use either used to but no would when we say exactly how many times in total something happened, how long something took, or that a single event happened at a given past time.
We visited Switzerland four times during the 1990s. (not We would play ..;timer reference not given)
