Which sentence correctly uses ‘would’ to describe a repeated action in the past?
AEvery summer, we would visit our grandparents.
BEvery summer, we would be tired.
CEvery summer, we would have a big house.
DEvery summer, we would own a farm.
Explanation
‘Would’ can be used, similarly to ‘used to,’ to describe a repeated or habitual action in the past, as in ‘Every summer, we would visit our grandparents.’ However, ‘would’ cannot be used to describe a past state, such as owning something or having a particular feeling, which is why only the sentence describing a repeated action, visiting grandparents, is correct.
