No, любить means "to love", "to like". But in some contexts "любил(а) делать что-то" means exactly "used to do smth".

A reflexive pronoun such as ‘себя’ always goes with ‘чувствовать’, right?
Not at all.

Я чувствую себя хорошо.

[quote:13pb1z4w] сломал , не мол прийти / ходить
7. a. here, you mean the possibilities are ‘приходить’ or ‘прийти’, right? It looked like you meant to say ‘ходить’ or ‘прийти’ which is incorrect.[/quote:13pb1z4w]
I meant exactly ходить or прийти, which is not incorrect. It depends on the context.
Он сломал ногу и не мог ходить.
Он сломал ногу и не мог прийти (на занятие).

Quote:
where did ‘ой’ come from in ‘домой’ ? Isn’t ‘дом’ first declension? c. ‘пойти дом’ means ‘to go home’ ?
Домой and дома are not forms of the substantive "дом".
They are adverbs. Домой means куда? (to home), дома means где? (at home).

Because of "бы".
Quote:

Больше is an adverb. It doesn't have any other endings.

19. why is the present tense of ‘быть’ (‘буду’) used here?[/quote:13pb1z4w]
Буду is not the present tense, it is futur. The present tense of быть is есть.
Quote:
[quote:13pb1z4w]Мы бы построили дом, если бы у нас были деньги
21. a. why is the imperfective used here instead of the perfective?[/quote:13pb1z4w]
I don't understand your question well.
Quote:
b. ‘у нас’ ?? c. бы у нас были’ can you explain this? I don’t understand this portion of the sentence.
Если бы - If
у нас были - we don't say "я имею" (I have), "мы имеем" (we have), "ты имеешь" (you have), etc. We say у меня есть, у нас есть, у тебя есть.
Бы is used with a past tense.
