    PAST HABITS

    Teacher Dante Nery

    NURTURE VS NATURE

    What do you
    remember about
    the nurture vs
    nature debate?

    ... Lets focus on


    Nurture today, can
    you tell us some past
    habits you had as a
    child?
    What are some of the
    things you used to do

    USED TO WOULD
    PAST HABITS

    Used to (affirmative form)


    We use used to + infinitive to talk about
    past habits which are now finished.
    Robert used to play football when he was
    younger, but he stopped playing 20 years
    ago.

    More examples: Kate used to go to the cinema a lot, but she doesn't now.
    When I was a child I used to suck my thumb.

    We also use used to for past states and situations which are no longer
    true.
    e.g. Robert used to be a very slim when he was younger.
    I used to live in London, but I moved in 1980.

    NEGATIVE AND
    INTERROGATIVE

    Used to (negative form)


    the negative of used to is normally didn't use to (=did not use to)
    e.g. I didn't use to live in London. You didn't use to like classical music.

    Used to (question form)


    We normally form questions with did...use to...?
    e.g. Where did you use to live? Did you use to like classical music?

    Would
    We use would with the same meaning to talk about the past.
    e.g. When I was a child my father would sometimes take me
    fishing.
    My grandmother was very absent-minded. She would often buy
    something and then leave the shop without it.

    Used to and Would


    When we talk about past habits, we can use used to or would.
    e.g. When we were children, we used to/would play Cowboys and
    Indians together.
    When we talk about past states, we can use used to, but NOT
    would. Would is used only for regularly repeated actions. Used to
    is used to express a situation existed in the past.
    e.g. My grandfather used to be a policeman. (NOT: My
    grandfather would be)
    My husband used to have a moustache, but he shaved it off.
    (NOT: My husband would have)
    I used to live in California. I used to have a Volkswagen. (Would
    cannot be used in these sentences.)
