❤WOULD
Like 'used to' and the Past Simple, 'would' with 'always' suggests an old habit that stopped in the past. Unlike 'used to' or the Past Simple 'would always' suggests a willingness to do the action or amusement and/or annoyance. It can also suggest an extreme habit. The opposite is expressed with 'would never'.
☺My grandmother would always get me a book for Christmas.
☺Sarah would always come late to work on Mondays.
It is important to remember that 'would always' is not the same as ‘used to’ or the Past Simple. Would cannot be used to speak about past facts or generalisations, only past repeated actions.

Here what a person says appears within quotation marks ("...") and we should say it with the exact words that the person said. He said, "Today’s lesson is on the past simple." "Today’s lesson is on the past simple," he said. 2. Indirect Speech, Reported Speech Indirect (reported speech), doesn’t use quotation marks to show what the person said and it doesn’t have to be the exact words as what the person said. When reporting speech is used the tense usually has to be changed. This is because when we use reported speech, we are usually talking about a time in the past T
