I have a question about the verb 'see'. At school we did another usage of 'would' similar to the usage of 'used to' i.e. repeated past actions that are no longer truth. We were told that 'would' in these cases can be accompanied by dynamic verbs only and therefore stative verbs are out of question. Thus, I would to ask if in the following sentence 'would' is possible.
They would see him in front of the building every day.
I would say it is OK, because 'see' has many differrent meanings and from the sentence above it is not clear what meaning we have in mind.
Thank you in advance
