A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use learner pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until feedback.
- Read the family-bookshop memories and identify ownership, Saturday routines and the sale in 2015.
- Complete the specified habitual forms and rewrite card games, cooking, residence and buying.
- Describe a past routine with a state, repeated action and one event, then share childhood memories.
Support and extension
Establish a past context before habitual would. Past simple can also describe habits; avoid the blanket claim that would can never describe any state.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
