Soler
Soler” is a unique Spanish verb that can be a little tricky. It’s a semi-auxiliary verb, meaning it’s used with other verbs to express habitual or customary actions in the past.
The structure for using “soler” is:
Subject + soler (conjugated) + infinitive verb
For example:
Solía cocinar los domingos. (I used to cook on Sundays.)
Solíamos ir a la playa en verano. (We used to go to the beach in the summer.)
Mi abuela solía hornear galletas deliciosas. (My grandmother used to bake delicious cookies.)
Note that the verb “soler” is conjugated to match the subject, while the following verb remains in its infinitive form.
While “soler” can technically be used in the present tense, it’s much more commonly used in the imperfect tense to express actions that were habitual in the past but may no longer be true.

Now that/seeing as: It can also imply a change in circumstances or a new situation.
