Assumptions:

Ss know the previous level of grammar.

Ss can speak and write in English but not very accurate.

Ss know the teacher’s style of teaching and the pace of course.

Anticipated Errors and Solutions:

Problems	Solutions
Ss may have some difficulties in understanding the form and meaning of the grammar.	Explain the form and meaning as detail as possible and give more examples.
Ss may need more time to work on group-work.	If group-work takes more time than expected, give them 1 more minutes to have conversation with their group members, and having fewer students to present their ideas.
Ss may finish the group-work earlier than expected,	Ask as many students as possible what kind of ideas they have and share them.

2 mins 5 mins	Whole class	Hello class. How are you today? Does anyone like American Dramas? If you like them, which one do you like? (Let Ss talk about the American Dramas and try to elicit GLEE) Guided Warmer Activity Have you ever seen GLEE? GLEE is a musical drama, and you can hear many different kinds of music from the drama. From now on, I am going to show you a short video clip from GLEE. There are two guys singing. While you watching the video, I want you to focus on their facial expression and gestures.

RECALL

Did you enjoy the video and the song?

What do you think about their feelings to each other?

(Have Ss answer)

Now, I will divide you into 5 groups.

With your group members, for 3 minutes, discuss what would be a title of the song and why.

CCQ

How much time do you have?

What do you discuss?

(Let Ss discuss and monitor them)

Ok. Why don't we share some ideas from each group.

(Have Ss talk about their ideas)

Very nice. This song's title is "somebody I used to know".

REFLECT

Ok. Can you tell me what the brothers says to each other?

Yes, they said that 'you are just somebody I used to know'.

But why they said like this?

(Try to elicit the meaning of 'used to' form by giving questions to Ss such as 'Do you think the brothers were close to each other before?', 'Can you compare their relationship in the past with the present?)

(The meanings to try to elicit are the followings: people did something in the past, but they are not doing anymore.)

Can anyone complete this sentence? 'You are just somebody I...' from the lyric of the song?

(Let Ss speak and finish the sentence on PPT)

What do you see in the form of this sentence?

CONCLUDE

[Meaning]

Excellent. We have just learned the use of 'used to' form.

Let's talk about the meaning of the title again.

Were they close to each other before?

Do they like each other as they were young?

(Have Ss answer)

They did something in the past regularly, but they are not doing anymore.

As you see, this form is often used to emphasize that you are not doing something that you had done in the past.

For example, do you remember what was I when I was in school?

Yes. I used to be an A student. Am I getting an A's these days? No. But, I got As when I was young.

CCQ

If you never have an A in your life, can you say “I used to be an A student”? (No)

In the video, the two guys know and close to each other before? (Yes)

They are still close to each other? (No)

[Form]

'Used to' form is pretty simple. Subject plus 'used to' plus root, the basic form of verb.

(Show PPT)

But, the important point is that you should use 'used to' after every subject. Also, after 'used to', you must put the basic verb.

[Drilling]

Subject	used to (didn't use to)	Root
I / You / He / She We / They / It		be, play, have, work, like (etc.)

(Show Ss the substitution table)

Ok. As you see, if you want to make a negative sentence with 'used to', you can say 'didn't use to'.

Ok. Listen to what I say and don't repeat.

(Read a sentence, pointing the substitution table)

Ok. Now, listen and repeat after me.

(Read a sentence, pointing the substitution table and let the whole class read the sentence all together)

I am going to pick some students to make sentence and read out loud.

(Have Ss repeat)

PREPARE

Very good. Let's move on and check your understanding with a worksheet.

Practice
