Contrary to the traditional account of habitual aspect in English, the only marker of habituality is will, with its past tense, would. Used to functions as a kind of anti-present perfect tense, contrasting past states of affairs with present ones. In certain contexts, various tenses, and not merely the simple ones, may receive habitual interpretations, but these are not their meanings. Generic readings are contextual interpretations; there are no markers of generic aspect in English.
