En el presente, la traducción más común de soler es el verbo principal más usually: Suele volver a las diez. He usually comes back at ten.
Para referirnos a costumbres en el pasado hay que usar to use to o would. Would expresa acciones repetidas, mientras que to use to describe también estados o situaciones: Antes íbamos/solíamos ir a la playa en tren. We used to/would go to the beach by train.
No confundas to use to (do sthg) con to be used to (doing sthg), que significa estar acostumbrado y, al contrario que to use to, puede usarse también en presente: Estoy acostumbrado a coger el metro. I'm used to taking the metro. ➣ Ver nota en accustom
