Things we did regularly in the past
In this unit we're finding out how to use used to and would to talk about the past. To help us, let's take another look at the conversations we heard in Session 1. We listened to a taxi driver, a rambler and an amateur mechanic.
They all used the words used to and would. Read their sentences carefully and then we'll do an activity to work out the differences.
Taxi driver
- I used to know all the street names in London.
- When I picked up a passenger, Iused to ask them where they were going, and we'd be off!
- I wouldn't carry a map, never!
Rambler
- When I was younger, I would go for a long walk every morning.
- I used to love rambling!
- I also used to recognise all the trees on my way to school.
Amateur mechanic
- Whenever my car had a problem I would always repair it myself.
- I used to be a very good amateur mechanic.
