Rule 1: Used to is used to talk about past habits or states that are no longer true. In sentence a, «used to» is used to describe a past feeling that the speaker had, but no longer has.
b When we were kids, we would play outside for hours.
Rule 2: Would is used to talk about past habits or actions that were repeated regularly. In sentence b, «would» is used to describe a past action (playing outside) that the speaker and others did regularly.
Rule 3: Both «used to» and «would» can be used interchangeably to describe past habits or actions that are no longer true or were repeated regularly. However, «used to» is more commonly used to describe past states or feelings, while «would» is more commonly used to describe past actions.
