An English girl and now I love a little German girl

And roll world

The dice

Italian girl, and now I love an Argentinean girl

Dream

I used to own

Be my playground

Be together, everyday together, always

I ran to whenever I was in need

I used to drink champagne

I never used to complain

✍️ Writing Task

Choose one of the bands mentioned (like Coldplay or No Doubt). Write a short paragraph about how their music or image used to be compared to now.

Used to - Songs

I created this activity for students to practice the use of "used to" through songs. This way, not only will they have the chance to see the structure in context, but also they will (hopefuly) anchor this grammar point to a song, making it easier for them to remember and apply it.

They will match the lines before listening, and then check the audio to see if they got them right. After they check, they can check whose songs they are.
