A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the single learner page in pairs. Personal or invented answers can vary; there is no fixed answer key.
- Read the park/cycling model and notice Did you use to? and used to in replies.
- Ask about former homes, activities, tastes, people and local places, adding why things changed.
- Give three past clues and one present clue about a shared acquaintance or fictional character for a partner to guess.
Support and extension
Use base verbs, and use to after did/didn't. Allow imagined people and places; distinguish this past-habit form from be used to for familiarity.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
