Let’s analyse: Activity 1 (Textbook page: 61) In the memoir ‘The Toilet’, the narrator speaks about her routine in the past. "I would go to a public toilet in the park. For some reason it was never locked, so I would go in and sit on the toilet seat to read some magazine or other, until the right time to catch the bus." Here, 'would' is used to indicate past habitual actions. Is this the only purpose for which 'would' can be used? a. Revisit the text and identify the sentences in which 'would' is used. Also, try to identify the function of 'would' in each sentence/situation.

b. Now, examine the following sentences and identify the differences. I shall go to a public toilet in the park. I would go to a public toilet in the park. What difference do you notice between these two sentences? Write your ideas here: In the first sentence, Shall + base verb (shows a future plan) In the second sentence, would + base verb (shows a past habit) The first sentence suggests that you plan to use the public toilet in the park. In the second sentence, the use of 'would' suggests a regular or repeated action in the past. So, the use of 'would' suggests a habitual action or a regular, repeated action in the past. However, the use of 'would' is not confined to habitual actions alone.
