PAST HABITS AND STATES

USED TO...

Listen to these people, they are talking about activities they don't do anymore.
Example:
I used to be quiet but now I'm talkative.... I used to play the guitar but I don't do it anymore...

We use 'used to' to talk about a past habit.

Structure:

Affirmative: Subject + used to + verb (simple form) + complement.
Negative: Subject + didn't + use to + verb (simple form) + complement.
Question: Wh- + did + subject + use to + verb (simple form) +complement.

Example:

A: What cartoons did you use to watch when you were a child?
B: I used to watch Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball.
A: Oh! I also used to watch Sailor Moon, but I didn't use to watch Dragon Ball.

Practise "used to" in its affirmative, negative and interrogative form.

TASK:

We want to know if there are many differences among generations. Write about your past habits when you were a child: songs, candy, TV programs, cartoons, games... and have you changed physically? How?

Example:

I'm 23 years old. When I was in elementary school I used to have straight long hair and I didn't use to wear glasses. I used to watch Remi, Thundercats and Sailor Moon. I used to eat some candies called ''kori', a kind of "chicloso" with chocolate flavor.
