know what is something that you loved to
do when you were a kid what is something
that you love to do when you were a kid
for me I loved to go outside and just
dig dig in the dirt no reason just dig
this was something that made me really
happy what is something that you loved
to do when you were a kid maybe you
loved to ride your bike or play with
your friends or something else so I want
to know what is something that you loved
to do when you were a kid
Delfy and I’m glad you’re here ah-ha no
guess I’d eat oh we shall check
bicycling so even when you were a kid
you enjoyed riding your bikes I know now
you you still ride your bike you are a
kid at heart
excellent we’ve got great great comments
here lots of people I’m so glad that
you’re here so tell me what is something
that you loved to do when you were a kid
Claudia says play soccer okay excellent
ludis I love to play football with my

ah tell me what kind of work did you
enjoy doing when
kid oh well my blood this is your first
time here can you tell me how I should
pronounce your name let me know how I
should pronounce it
Oh Sara says I love to paint on the wall

Cesar from Costa Rica welcome you says

Joey’s as a biking King born kings you
took on great great seems like we have a
lot of activities that are fun kids like
to do fun things
sooo so yeah Lee done I hope I
pronounced that correctly suis le to
welcome for the first time o
Timo since I love playing computer games
oh and shall Jack like making pastries
with his mom great well I want to help
you talk about these activities with
today’s words so today’s word is wood
wood and there are three different ways
we can use wood I’m going to talk about
the second way so the first way is just
a polite question would you help me the
second way today is talking about things
that we did in the past we did a lot in
the past and the final way the fourth
way the third way the third way is
talking about some hypothetical
situations if I were a boy I would be
very different but we’re not going to
talk about the first way or the last way
we’re going to focus on the second way
today so I’m going to write here on my
handy clipboard a sample sentence a
sample says it so that you can you can
also write yo
so we could say uh when and I was a kid
this is the beginning of the sentence
when I was a kid or you could say when I
was younger when I was little when I was
a child usually the word child is uh we
I use it quite as much usually we use
kid more but both those are fine
obviously when I was a kid I wouldn’t
for me my example was I would dig in the
dirt every day so the key the key in
this sentence is this is something that
I did a lot it’s not something that I
did once it’s something that I did
continuously so when I was a kid I would
dig in the dirt every day so you guys
just told me some things and activities
that you loved doing when you were a kid
so I imagine that you probably did those
more than once so I want you to be able
to use this sentence structure so let’s
let’s use wood and then here let’s add
another verb so can you tell me the same
thing that you just told me so for
example let me take a look at one of
them you took I said I like to play
board games I like to play board games
when I was when I was little so for you
tuck i sentence he could say when I was
a kid I would play board games on the
weekends or I would play board games
after school I would play board games
with my family so talking about a
continual activity with the word wood
wood so I would like to give you a
chance to use this and I’m sure after
you see everyone’s lovely sentences
you’re gonna use this continuously aha
Delphine says when I was a kid I would
read comic books every day this is a
beautiful sentence I hope that we can
all look at her sentence and imitate
this when I was a kid I would read comic
books every day Oh fun
Jonnie says when I was a kid I would eat
every day I hope now to
oh you took a great thanks for
clarifying he says when I was a kid I
would play board games with my brother
excellent if you would like to use the
word the let’s just make it singular I
would play the board game with my
brother but because there’s so many
probably board games that sounds like a
fun family activity oh watch a Slav says
when I was a kid I would play
transformers yes these are the kind of
robots that can change shapes sounds
like fun who would you play transformers
with when you were a kid I want to let
you know as well it’s possible it’s
possible to also say and native speakers
will mix these a lot it’s possible to
say I dug in the dirt
so this is this is just the past Doug
Doug is the past a big update so if I
said I would dig in the dirt every day
or I dug in the dirt both of these are
perfectly fine and you’re gonna hear
native speakers mix these all the time
and use them even while they’re telling
the same story so if you if you use just
this simple past kind of verb it’s okay
but when talking about especially
continual long-term activities we love
to use wood so you could use either of
them but I want you to feel comfortable
with this because I feel like a lot of
English learners free maybe for you when
you hear native speakers use wood it
kind of feels like a mystery why are
they using it how can I use that too so
I want you to see that you can use it in
this situation it’s not just simple pest
you can use wood here as well all right
we’ve got lots of sentences I don’t want
to miss them I’m gonna go back really
quick and read some of them aha a Lhasa
is when I was in university I would meet
my friends every day excellent excellent
I would meet my friends every day so I’d
says when I was a child when I was a
child I would play soccer with my
friends great where did you play soccer
did you go to a park can did your school
have a soccer field I think that’s a
really common activity for a lot of kids
around the world playing soccer with
their friends Oh
Malak says when I was a child I would
play playstation haha
every day I guessed Oh excellent the
answer is when I was a kid I would play
a traditional game because we had no
gadgets then yes I think this is really
true for a lot of us maybe when we
became for me when I was in high school
middle school high school there started
to be more or Playstation but when I was
in
in elementary school there was
definitely not an option like that so
yes we had to play traditional games go
outside or play with our family hi i’m
gerry oginski
I would like to play with my toys every
weekend great great uh when I was young
I would always have picnics on the beach
excellent tell me where where do you
live what kind of a area do you live it
I gets close to the beach Tina says when
I was a kid I would take a bath in the
rape everyday oh I think kids dream
about playing in the rain here in my
city it’s been raining a lot and I’ve
seen some kids walking down the street
jumping in puddles and just playing in
the rain and their parents have an
umbrella they don’t want to play or get
out and get wet but kids love that kind
of thing
oh I get it in welcome I’m glad you’re
here oh oh yes in my childhood I used to
read books great so maybe we could say I
would read books all the time
I would read books with my mom I would
read books in bed before I went to sleep
that’s what I do yes is when I was a kid
I would go to restaurant every weekend
with my dad wait is this a specific
restaurant usually if we use the word
though it’s a specific one when I was a
kid I would go to a restaurant maybe
just a general restaurant with your dad
that’s a great just connection time you
can get to know each other
uh-huh he says when I was a teenager I
would study more than now yeah oh I
think that’s true something about school
there’s pressure there’s lots of
teachers you have no other
responsibilities so we study more but
it’s not always very effective
maybe the quantity of study the amount
of studying doesn’t really equal the
amount of
I hope today in this 2003 minute lesson
you are going to learn and master a lot
so I want your quantity and quality to
be equal today Oh
Mohammed has a great thing about food
when I was a kid I would prepare
couscous with my mother
excellent excellent what kind of things
did you put in the couscous were there
some some vegetables or meats or
different things I’m curious what your
traditional style of making it was I’m
saying says when I was reading in school
I would flee away from school in your
mind you’re reading and dreaming about
another place excellent LCOE hi when I
was a college student I would play pool
oh great great
and just for those of you who are not
certain about this word play pool play
pool means we could call it billiards or
playing pool this is not swimming so he
will used to play pool excellent
oh great great let me read some more
we’ve got oh I’ll say just watching the
Olympics I hope your your team wins mmm
let’s see oh you took us s when I was
little I would read books Oh with your
mom with your mommy your mom would read
them with you or you would read them
with your mom that’s excellent if we say
bye my mom it means your mom wrote the
books maybe your mom wrote the books
that would be really awesome sometimes
parents make up stories
so that’s possible let’s take a look ah
ha ha
Oh Slavik hi he says I would like to
play soccer
ah yeah well maybe if you said a
continual thing hmm when I was younger I
would play soccer a lot where I liked to
play soccer
maybe with like it does sound a little
strange so you could use just simple
paths think that’s a great suggestion he
dug up when my son was a kid he would
play with Legos oh yes Legos are a
classic childhood toy uh-huh and there
has a good question can um he says so I
can use wood instead of used to in the
past so here you have several
suggestions so as I wrote down here you
can use just a simple a simple verb here
or you could say when I was a kid I use
to dig in the dirt yeah this is
perfectly fine as well to say I used to
dig I think these all have this similar
meaning meaning something that you
continuously did in the past great
question great question
ah Norris is not playing outside with my
daughter while listening to you oh great
so great Neuer tell me which country are
you from again let me know oh she says
when I was a child I would play a side
with my sister till night yes I have
great memories of this too I think a
part of childhood is this love of being
outside and playing and spending time
with your family you don’t care about
responsibilities just having fun and
that is your that’s your job when you’re
a kid is to play and have a five those
are great memories I slit ah let’s see
what else he’s got
ah Hossein I think this is something
that we all understand he said when I
was a teenager I would irritate my mom
but today I don’t do it yeah I think
when were younger we say things we
shouldn’t have said we do things we
shouldn’t have done but now hopefully
we’re older more mature
hopefully smarter and do things a little
differently especially with family
excellent multisim we’re talking about
the word would what is something that
you would do when you were a kid
something continuous that you would do
when you were a kid Oh Bahamas is when I
was a teenager I would like to watch
vampire movies uh-huh like to watch
vampire movies and I just want to give
you a little note because you said a
great word the word film film and in the
u.s. in the u.s. the word film usually
doesn’t talk about a regular movie
typically this word is gonna talk about
not a Hollywood movie maybe a locally
made movie is something smaller now in
the UK in England this is going to be a
different meaning so I’m not an expert
with that I’m going to interview a
British guy quite soon so keep your eyes
out for that but uh in the u.s. usually
when we’re talking about Hollywood
movies or big production movies these
are movies instead of films thank you
for bringing that up
all right let’s see when I was a kid I
would like to be like my dad oh yes you
wanted to be like your dad perfect
perfect
Oh Jerry oh thank you for your kind of
comment I would like to thank you for
this live lesson excellent oh it’s very
true cloud excellent I would like to
take my friend to go out for lunch this
would be a wonderful thing especially if
it’s me love to go out to lunch so thank
you everyone for your great sentences I
hope that the next time you speak
English when you’re talking about a
continual action in the past you can use
the word wood or used to or the simple
past we mix them all up because the
is what native speakers do when they’re
telling a story about the past so if you
hear on a TV show that somebody uses oh
when I was younger I would do this when
I was in college I would do this you’re
gonna know why they’re saying this it’s
because they continually did it in the
past I plan if you have any questions
about this
this verb today feel free to ask it in
