Lo siento, pero la 7 no puedo responderla por algunos motivos. El problema en la 7 es que si pones used to, necesitarías poner el verbo be (ser):

There never used to a coffee shop here.

Nunca solía una tienda de café aquí.

There never used to be a coffee shop here.

Nunca solía haber (en vez de solía haber es hubo, pero lo traducí literalmente) una tienda de café aquí.

Ya sé que traducido no queda muy bien, pero sí está bien escrito (creo).

Luego si uso would,  simplemente ya no tiene nada de sentido:

There never would a coffee shop here.

Ya ni te lo puedo traducir lo siento.

En cambio, si la frase fuera ''There would never be a coffee shop here'' o algo parecido, si tendría más sentido.
