Mr Busy walks down "Memory Lane". A gap-fill exercise focusing on using used to and would. This is a harder version in that the students have to chose the verb combinations themselves. I�m uploading an easier version for the less able, too.
This episode was inspired by Nika Jana (many thanks -hope you like it:)
