for many occasions we have talked about different ways on
- 00:06 - 00:07
how to express habits.
- 00:09 - 00:13
The first one that we learned was used to used
- 00:13 - 00:17
to is for talking about habits or routines from the
- 00:17 - 00:23
past. We also can use wood instead of used to,
- 00:24 - 00:29
but what is not for state of verse for example,
- 00:30 - 00:36
I can see I used to have long hair but
- 00:36 - 00:39
have is an study verb.
- 00:40 - 00:43
So in that case it would be incorrect to say
- 00:44 - 00:46
I would have long hair.
- 00:47 - 00:50
My family used to visit my parents every weekend.
- 00:51 - 00:52
That is how it from the past.
- 00:54 - 00:57
It is exactly the same to say my family would
- 00:58 - 00:59
visit my parents every weekend.
- 01:00 - 01:05
In both cases, we are talking about habits of the
- 01:05 - 01:10
best. Another way that we can express a habit is
- 01:11 - 01:13
always plus a verb with I.

N. G.
- 01:14 - 01:19
Or a gym they use is to express that a
- 01:19 - 01:24
habit is annoying that the habit is a surprise for
- 01:24 - 01:28
us or something that happens more than usual.
- 01:29 - 01:34
For example, he is always living very close all over
- 01:34 - 01:34
the place.
- 01:35 - 01:38
That statement is about annoyance.
- 01:39 - 01:42
I like her because she is always making jokes.
- 01:43 - 01:43
That one.
- 01:44 - 01:46
It's something that happens more than usual.
- 01:51 - 01:54
Well, besides talking about future, we use it to express
- 01:55 - 02:01
a habit that are characteristics or predictions from a person.
- 02:02 - 02:08
I mean predictable behavior from a person, for example, I
- 02:08 - 02:11
will always listen to music before I go to bed.
- 02:12 - 02:14
It is something that is predictable from me.
- 02:15 - 02:19
She won't normally get up before 11 on weekends.
- 02:20 - 02:22
That is a characteristic of that person.
- 02:26 - 02:31
Finally, we use 10 to to express normal behavior.
- 02:33 - 02:36
It is similar in meaning with, Well, we can use
- 02:36 - 02:41
will or tend to to express habits about normal behaviors.
- 02:42 - 02:46
Hi, 10 to sit at home during the week.

I tend not to read much when I say, I
- 02:52 - 02:55
tend to stay at home during the week is because
- 02:55 - 02:56
it is a normal behavior.
- 02:57 - 02:59
I tend not to with much.
