Upper-Intermediate Morning Monday and Wednesday

We had a short lesson today. We started it with a drill: the teacher would say that had happened and students had to say weather they believed it or not and repeat the statement making the necessary changes.

Example: Most American children eat pancakes for breakfasta everyday. Yes, I believe that most... or No, I don´t believe that most ...

Students read the sentences they had had to write for homework using I used to... I would, I am always ...ing, I´ll +infonitive.

Exercises 4 & 5 page 17, Face to Face Upper Intermediate.

Remember: if there is a frequency adverb  we prefer would +infinitive to used to +infinitive. 

After a frequency adverb we also prefer will + infinitive instead of Present Simple.

Frequency adverbs: rarely, seldom, frequently, occasionally, more often than not, every so often, most of the time, once in a while, every now and again (or and then).

Homework: write about the difference between your life 5 years ago and your life now. Things you may consider: sleeping habits, free time activities, time with friends and family, sports and exercise, work or study, taste in music/films/TV programs, annoying habits.
