past simple with used to

Do we remember the past simple? 

When did you use it?

How do you make it?

Did you notice?

What did you notice about the use of 'used to' in the video?

'she used to go away on long trips'

'he didn't use to wear nice clothes'

'what did you use to go to london for?'

What do these sentences tell you? 

conclusion

you use 'used to' to when we talk about habits or states we were in the past, but which are not true anymore. 

when it's a question or negative sentence you say 'use to' instead of 'used to'

past simple with would

What do you still know about the past simple?

When do you use it?

What does it look like?

when do we use would

when we talk about things we did often in the past we usd  'would'

"as a little boy I would take the bus to school every day"

sometimes 'would' is shortened to -'d-

"I'd play tennis every wednesday when I was ten"

How do you make it?

normal past simple: "I took the bus to school"

with 'would': "I would take the bus to school"

The verb is different. 

do you know why? 

when you add an adverb of frequency it comes after would

"I would always take the bus to school"

'used to' vs 'would'

used to: past states and habbits

would: repeated past actions (habbits)

There is a little bit of overlap. 

"I used to take the bus to school when I was little"

"I would take the bus to school when I was little"

Both are correct. 

used to vs would

would is never used for a state

"I would live in london when I was a little girl"

"I used to live in london when I was a little girl"

'used to' vs 'would'

when you talk about things in the past, 'used to' is often used first, followed by 'would'. 

"I used to live in london where I would walk past the london eye every day. I used to love going to the museum where I would look at all the pretty pieces of art"

comparisons with adverbs

open your books on page 168

read the explanation about comparison: adverb

try exercise 4 & 5

if you don't understand, ask your neighbor for help. 

comparisons with patterns

close your books

when I say 'it's getting colder and colder' the situation is ....

1. changing
2. staying the same

when you say 'it's getting colder and colder' you're putting more emphasis on the change

1. true
2. false

You can say 'it's getting colder and colder' and 'it's getting more and more cold'. Both are correct

1. true
2. false

When can you say 'more and more'?

1. when it's followed by a noun
2. when it's followed by a word with 1 syllable
3. when it's followed by a word with 3 syllables
4. when it's followed by a verb

'more and more people take the bus' is a correct way to indicate change

1. true
2. false

you can say 'he's cooler and cooler than you'

1. true
2. false

'the worse the weather, the busier the traffic' shows two things change at the same time, they are related

1. true
2. false

'the more the merrier' means...

1. the more things you have, the happier you are
2. the more people there are, the better it is
3. the more things you have, the messier your house
4. the more horses you have, the better.
