Economic crisis and used to
|
|
Hi everyone!
I�m preparing a unit dealing with the past simple, "used to" and verbs like loved+ing, liked+ing...in a context related to the economic crisis, just to avoid the typical theme of "past habits".
So I would need some ideas or sentences which fit with that. For example: It used to be easy to find a job, banks used to charge less money...or I liked going on holidays but now I can�t, or I enjoyed going shopping, but I don�t have money nowadays...
Thanks a lot!! |
