Hi,
*the past, not conditional sentences.* would = used to
It is written that we can't use the verb 'be' when using 'would' instead of 'used to'.
For example: I used to be an administrative assistant. (That's ok)
I would be an administrative assistant. (That's not ok)
I would like to learn whether we can use 'be' in every case or not.
When I was a child my mom would be angry at me.
Is that ok? If it is ok or not, please could you give me some examples how to use?
Thanks...
