In linguistics, the aspect of a verb is a grammatical category that defines the temporal flow (or lack thereof) in a given action, event, or state. As its name suggests, the habitual aspect specifies an action as occurring habitually: the subject performs the action usually, ordinarily, or customarily. The habitual aspect is a type of imperfective aspect; the latter does not depict an event as a single entity viewed only as a whole, but instead specifies something about its internal temporal structure.
Dahl found that the habitual past, the most common tense context for the habitual, occurred in only seven of 60 languages sampled, including English. Especially in Turkic languages such as Azerbaijani and Turkish, he found that the habitual can occur in combination with the predictive mood.
Habituality in English
Standard English has two habitual aspectual forms in the past tense. One is illustrated by the sentence "I used to go there frequently". The "used to [infinitive]" construction always refers to the habitual aspect when the infinitive is a non-stative verb; in contrast, when "used to" is used with a stative verb, the aspect can be interpreted as stative (that is, it indicates an ongoing, unchanging state, as in "I used to know that"), although Comrie classifies this too as habitual. "Used to ..." can be used with or without an indicator of temporal location in the past ("We used to do that", "We used to do that in 1974"); but the time indicator cannot be too specific, for example "We used to do that at 3pm yesterday" is not grammatical.
The habitual aspect is a form of expression connoting repetition or continuous existence of a state of affairs. In English when present time is referred to, there is no special grammatical marker for the habitual; the simple present is used, as in I go there (every day). However, for past reference English uses the simple past form or either of two alternative markers: used to as in we used to go there (every Thursday), and would as in back then we would go there (every Thursday).
Would
The form [would + infinitive] is employed to talk about a habit or frequent action in a former time.
One usually applies [would + infinitive] for the past habitual when one is telling a story about the
past.
When I was a kid, we would often have a drink after class on a Monday.
When I lived in Romania, we would go to a little bar near our house.
The past habitual employment of would requires an accompanying indication of the time of occurrence (more specifically than simply before the present): e.g., Last year we would go there frequently, but not simply We would go there frequently.

The "used to [infinitive]" construction always refers to the habitual aspect when the infinitive is a non-stative verb; in contrast, when "used to" is used with a stative verb, the aspect can be interpreted as stative (that is, it indicates an ongoing, unchanging state, as in "I used to know that"), although Comrie classifies this too as habitual. "Used to ..." can be used with or without an indicator of temporal location in the past ("We used to do that", "We used to do that in 1974"); but the time indicator cannot be too specific, for example "We used to do that at 3pm yesterday" is not grammatical.
