The correct past tense
Hi all,
Is there any rule when to use "would" and when "past simple" for several verbs might exist in a story at the times we're using English?
As a non-native English speaker, I've a difficulty with this. Honestly speaking, I always use "would".
For instance:
1- When I was a teenager, I would see my friends and we would go to cinema with each other at times.
2- As a student, I would work hard on my math problems when I would go to school and my teacher would encourage me there.
