Would
A: My uncle would give me money whenever I went to his house; he still give me money sometimes.
B: My uncle used to give me money; he still give me money sometimes.
Are both sentences correct? Can we use 'would' in a sentence with a meaning that something used to happen and it also happens now sometimes? So the difference between 'would' and 'used to' is that 'used to' means it doesn't exist anymore now that happened some time in the past and 'would means it could still happen sometimes that happened in the past, right?
B: My uncle used to give me money; he still give me money sometimes.

AnonymousHow is 'talk' an action verb; I wonder? You don't move when you talk.You should try talking without moving your tongue, your jaw, or your lips. See how well you are understood.
And some people can't talk without moving their hands, either.
