Homework Check
Warm up: used to
I would like for you to write a sentence about yourself, but you have to
use used to in your story.
Ex. I used to run 4 miles every day.
I will collect your sentences and give you someone else’s sentence .You
need to find the person who wrote the sentence, but do not ask him or
her: Did you use to run 4 miles a day?
Instead, you must ask questions like: Did you like to exercise? Did you
have a daily routine?

My sister and I used to steal packets of sugar from the store after
school.
What kinds of questions can you ask?
Do you have a sister? Were you a good child?
