Grammar
Would verb + verb in past tense
Hi,
Any different (in term of meaning and grammar) between, eg, "would prastice" and "prasticed"?
Could you please explain my question based on my following 2 sentences?
Finally, which sentence is more appropriate?
Sentence1:
3 years ago, when I was a teacher, in each lesson my students would prastice the questions on an exercise sheet and I would help them with their problem.
Sentence2:
3 years ago, when I was a teacher, in each lesson my students prasticed the questions on an exercise sheet and I helped them with their problem.
Thanks.
