In a “Find Someone Who” activity, students engage in a speaking exercise where they seek out classmates who match given descriptions. Each student receives a list of statements and must ask their peers questions based on these statements. For example, if the statement is “Find someone who used to live in another city or country” the student must find a classmate who fits that description, note their name, and share the information with the group, possibly asking for additional details related to the statement.
This “Find Someone Who” activity is designed to practice using Used To.
You can also encourage your students to ask follow-up questions.
Example:
Student A: Did you use to live in another city or country?
Student B: Yes, I used to live in Paris. I used to walk by the Seine every evening.
Student A: That sounds amazing! Did you use to speak French fluently?
Student B: I used to speak it quite well, but I’ve forgotten a lot since I moved back. Did you use to travel a lot?
Student A: Yes, I used to travel to different countries every summer. I used to visit my relatives in Italy quite often.
etc.
