A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and retain the page 2 key for checking. The personal responses are examples, not answers learners must copy.
- Establish childhood summers as the context for habitual would in the seaside example.
- Complete A's childhood home, repeated evening activity, old preference and routine-change questions; link answers into one memory.
- Reorder B's rainy-day games, neighbours and moving-away questions, then ask a partner for a present-day contrast.
Support and extension
Use used to for the continuing live, like and know states in these exercises, and would for repeated actions in a clear past context. A single move or change takes past simple; invented memories are acceptable.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
