travel

Something used to happen = it happened often in the past, but no longer happens:

0 David used to spend a lot of money on clothes These days he can't afford it

C 'Do you go to the cinema much?' 'Not now, but I used to.' (=I used to go)

We also use used to for things that were true, but are not true any more:

0 This building is now a furniture shop lt used to be a cinema

0 Lisa used to have very long hair when she was a child

To talk about the present, use the present simple (1 do)

The normal question form is did (you) use to ?:

The negative form is didn't use to (used not to is also possible):

Compare I used to do and I was doing:

Do not confuse I used to do and I am used to doing (see Unit 61) The structures and meanings are different:

been living alone for some time)

Time (when? I how often? I how long?) usually goes after place:

place + time

Some adverbs {for example, always, also, probably) go with the verb in the middle of a sentence:

0 Helen always drives to work

0 We were feeling very tired and we were also hungry

0 The concert will probably be cancelled

If the verb is one word {drives/fell/cooked etc.), the adverb goes before the verb:

I Helen always drives to work

I I almost fell as I was going down the stairs

0 I cleaned the house and also cooked the dinner (not cooked also)

0 Lucy hardly ever watches television and rarely reads newspapers

0 'Shall I give you my address?' 'No, I already have it.'

Note that these adverbs (always/often/also etc.) go before have to :

0 joe never phones me I always have to phone him (not I have always to phone)

But adverbs go after am/is/are/was/were :

=: We were feeling very tired and we were also hungry

C Why are you always late? You're never on time

0 The traffic isn't usuaLLy as bad as it was this morning

If the verb is two or more words (for example, can remember I doesn't eat I wiLL be canceLLed) , the adverb usually goes after the first verb (can/doesn't/will etc.):

-verb 1 adverb verb 2

The concert will probably be

0 You've always been very kind to me

0 jack can't cook He can't even boil an egg

her name

meat

away next week?

cancelled

0 The house was only built a year ago and it's already falling down

Note that probably goes before a negative (isn't/won't etc.) So we say:

C My parents are both teachers (n ot my parents both are teachers)

C Sarah and jane have both applied for the job

Sometimes we use is/will/did etc instead of repeating part of a sentence (see Unit 51):

0 Tom says he isn't clever, but I think he is (= he is clever)

C He always says he won't be late, but he always is (=he is always late)

C I've never done it and I never wiLL (=I wiLL never do it)

LIFE IN THE PAST VS LIFE IN THE PRESENT Over the last century, there have been many significant changes in the way we live.Obviously, it is difficult to compare the life of ancient people and the life of the people living in the twenty-first century because so many changes have occurred Even the changes that have occurred over the last ten years are amazing

To start with, in the past people had to work harder as they did not have tools and machines to make their work easier Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and other powerful machines In the past living conditions were not

as comfortable as they are now Besides, many people could not afford household appliances like a fridge or a vacuum cleaner because those used to be luxurious goods Another difference between living now and in the past is the fact that nowadays education is accessible to everyone In the past men were mainly the only ones educated 24

and women were not allowed into public or private schools Besides, nowadays it is much easier to find the educational materials and the information you need – thanks to the Internet We are able to speak to a friend who is on the other corner of the world because we are connected 24/7 Nevertheless, people had better relationships with the neighbors in years gone by

All things considered, it is an obvious conclusion that life has changed significantly during the course of history In some ways, it is definitely easier to live in the present On the other hand, however, life now is much faster and stressful than it used to be in the past The standard of living has definitely improved but it can be discussed whether the quality of our lives is also better

A Decide whether the following sentences are true (T) or false (F)

1 Life nowadays is the same as life of our ancestors

2 Technology has made our lives easier

3 In the past, household appliances were very expensive

4 Public schools allowed females and males to be educated in the same schools

5 We can use the internet to communicate with people around the world

B Answer the questions

6 Is life today faster or slower than life in the past?

4 He gave her the book “The fault in our stars” as a birthday gift (SHE)

- What is that facility?

- How does it look like?
