[alatlantha]

We "used to+ infinitive" (contracted to ´d in spoken English) to talk about past repeated actions or when we talk about permanent situations that are usually no longer true, for example :
He used to work for police force. (but he doesn´t now)

And "would" is unusual in the negativ form or in Yes/No questions, we don´t use "would" with state verbs.
