Would you still go to the party if Poppy wasn’t going to be there?

Past Habits
If you want to say something happened in the past, you can just use the past tense:

• 
  When I was younger, I stayed up all night one Christmas Eve.
  

But when you want to describe something that happened routinely or a habit you or someone else had in the past, use would.

• 
  When I was younger, I would always stay up all night on Christmas Eve.
  

Here, we’re suggesting that this past behaviour happened every year—not just once. Here are some more examples:

• 
  When he was a young warthog, he would spend hours looking for grubs to eat.
  
• 
  Before starting my novel, I wouldn’t touch wine. Now, I drink a glass every day.
