Building Blocks A2: 1.5 

Pair up with another student. You should both describe your own city or town.

Name at least two positive things and one negative. Think about the size, the sights, the people, the atmosphere, etc. If you don’t know the word you are looking for, try to use synonyms or antonyms.

Pair up with another student. Use the comparative to describe and compare things in your home town to a town of your choice (for instance the town where your school is, Paris, etc.). Take turns speaking / listenening. Choose two for each subject:

Buildings

Shops

Restaurants

Public transport

English term 3: Lesson 1

Pair up with another student and ask each other the following questions. Your answers must contain ‘used to’, ‘would’, and the past simple.

When you were growing up …

a. ... what did you usually have for dinner?

b. ... did you go to restaurants?

c. ... where did you go to eat?

Pair up with another student. You’re going to go out with a friend.

You would like to do something else. Explain what and why.

You can’t make it on the day your friend suggests, so you suggest another day and time.

Repeat the agreement (plan, day, time).

English term 3: Lesson 1

When you talk about things in the past that always happened but don’t anymore, you can use:

‘used to’ + infinitive:

We used to live in New York when I was a kid.

‘would’:

Every Saturday I would go on a long bike ride.

past simple:

We went to the same beach every summer.

‘Used to’ + infinitive

You use ‘used to’ + infinitive (hele werkwoord):

for past states (toestanden) that are not true anymore:

We used to live in New York when I was a kid.

We woonden in New York toen ik een kind was (maar we wonen daar niet meer).

for past habits (gewoontes) that don’t happen anymore:

I used to go swimming every Thursday when I was at school.

Ik ging vroeger elke donderdag zwemmen (maar dat doe ik nu niet meer).

‘Would’

You use ‘would’ for past habits (gewoontes) that you don’t have any more:

Every Saturday I would go on a long bike ride.

Elke zaterdag ging ik een heel eind fietsen.

‘Would’ for past habits is more formal than ‘used to’.

You don't use ‘would’ for past habits in a negative or question form.

You don’t use ‘would’ to talk about past states.

Past simple

You can use the past simple:

for past states and habits. This tells the other person that you no longer do a certain thing, go to a certain place, etc.

We went to the same beach every summer.

if something happened only once, so you don’t describe a habit or a state.

I went to Pakistan in 2019.
