• I used to play chess every day. (I played chess every day in the past, but I don’t play chess now)
• I would play chess every day. (Same meaning as above)

However, there are some differences between them:

• ‘Used to’ can be used with both action verbs and state verbs, but ‘would’ can only be used with action verbs. State verbs are verbs that describe a state or condition, such as be, have, know, like, etc. For example:
• I used to be shy. (Correct)
• I would be shy. (Incorrect)
• She used to have long hair. (Correct)
• She would have long hair. (Incorrect)
• ‘Would’ conveys the idea that the speaker is reminiscing or nostalgic about the past, while ‘used to’ is more neutral. For example:
• When I was a child, I would go to the park with my grandfather. (The speaker is remembering a happy memory)
• When I was a child, I used to go to the park with my grandfather. (The speaker is stating a fact)
• ‘Used to’ has a negative form (didn’t use to) and a question form (did … use to), but ‘would’ does not. For example:
• I didn’t use to like broccoli, but now I do. (Correct)
• I wouldn’t like broccoli, but now I do. (Incorrect)
• Did you use to play soccer when you were young? (Correct)
• Would you play soccer when you were young? (Incorrect)
