Notice that when the statement is positive, the tag question is expressed in the negative; when the statement is negative, the tag question is positive. (There are a few exceptions to this, frequently expressing an element of surprise or sarcasm: "So you've made your first million, have you?" "Oh, that's your plan, is it?")

The following are more typical tag questions:

He shouldn't have quit his diet, should he?

Grammar Focus

'USED TO' for past habits
* We use 'used to' to talk about past events which we no longer do. We only use it to talk about the past; there is no similar expression for the present.

'I studied French, but I don’t anymore.' → 'I used to study French.'
'In the past I smoked, but I don't now.' → 'I used to smoke.'

Note: after 'used' to we always use the infinitive.

* Asking questions using 'use to'

'Did you use to watch Mickey Mouse?'
'Did you use to like school?'

* Answering 'use to' questions

'Did you use to wear a school uniform?'
'Yes, I used to wear a horrible uniform!' 

'I didn't use to wear a uniform'. or 'I used not to...'

Using 'WOULD' instead of 'USED TO'

* We use 'would' when we want to talk about how often a past habit happened. It can have the same meaning as 'used to'. 

'I used to go swimming twice a week.'→ ' I would go swimming twice a week.' 
Note: Both of these sentences have the same meaning.

We can use 'would' instead of 'used to' when a time is mentioned:
'When I was young, I used to visit my grandmother every summmer.'→ ' When I was young, I would visit my grandmother every summer.' 

If the sentence is not about a repeating habit/action, or does not include a time expression, we can not use 'would':
'I used to play piano.'→'I would play piano.'

It is more natural to say:
'I used to play piano. I would practise every day.'

B&B for next class

• Think of Stereotypes we have about people who live in a specific country like The British or The Americans; or a group of people like women, men, black people, policemen, homosexuals, footballers, etc. Write them down using the headings : THE GOOD, THE BAD and THE UGLY.

• Write the description to your invisible friend ( if you haven't completed the task yet) and send it to teacher Ana's email.

Grammar Focus:

Talking about STEREOTYPES:


A 'stereotype' is a belief that can be held by anybody about specific types of individuals or certain ways of doing things, but that belief may or may not accurately reflect reality.
The term stereotype derives from the Greek words στερεός (stereos), "firm, solid"[3] and τύπος (typos), "impression,"[4] hence "solid impression".


So here is a top 10 of supposed Argentine Stereotypes, 
some accepted, some not:


The ‘Good’
The excellent beef and malbec wine
Everyone here loves Mate, and the whole ceremony around it
The people are very warm and friendly
The women are beautiful
A cultured society – interested in theater, literature, art etc
The ‘Bad’
Cheating at football (and then boasting about it)
Lazy – things taking a long time to get done
Vain and a little arrogant
Love a good disruptive protest
The ‘Ugly’
Mullets and 1980s music / fashion


Here are more examples of stereotypes:
That all white women have flat booties.
That all Jews are greedy.
That all Asians are good at math.
That all Asians like to eat rice and drive slow.
That all Irish people are drunks and eat potatoes.
