Board Race: Used to and Would

(TESOL Materials--Used toWould+base form)
Google: slides, pub
[Note: The first 4 slides in this presentation were designed from a co-worker, and not originally mine.  She, in turn, had taken them from Close-Up C1. The next 3 slides are my own addition, although they were also taken from grammar exercises in Close-Up C1.  Then the rest of the slides are self-plagiarized from a previous board race I had made with used to. In some of these later slides, the distinction between past action and past state gets a little bit ambiguous.  (e.g.  technically "sell" is an action verb, but I almost feel like "he used to sell cars" is describing a state of employment rather than a repeated action).  Nevertheless, for the purposes of this slideshow, I've gone with a broad interpretation of action verbs.
The set-up is a standard board-race: The students are put into 4 teams.  The teacher gives the students prompts (either visually, or written, or oral).  And the students race to the whiteboard to write the correct sentence.  The first team to write the correct sentence gets 4 points, the next student gets 3 points, etc.]
