I don't understand the meaning (would) in this sentence
On Sundays we would go to church
What is the rule?

The speaker is talking about the past, and remembering parts of his/her daily routine. There have been several other questions in the same context on EnglishForward, and the public opinion is that using the past (went) is better, because using the future (would) is a bit confusing and lacks context.
