Can someone explain to me why "je n'ai pas toujours aimé ça" and not " je n'aimerais pas toujours ça". I thought this is the case where you describe opinion in the past.

Also instead of "je m'y suis habitué" can I use "j'en avais l'habitude" or "j'en ai l'habitude". Is the use "avoir l'habitude de" or "se habituer" can be interchangeable or they should be use in different context?

Grammatical description of immediate future

I’m interested to know if this common usage of "a present tense for the immediate future" has a snappier grammatical name in either English or French? Also just to check I have this right: it’s an informal way to talk about events that are both soon and definite.
