00:00Grazie a tutti!
00:30Ok, now let's meet our contestants.
00:32Hi everyone, I'm Mike.
00:34And contestant number two?
00:36Hi, well, I'm Jay.
00:38Welcome back, Mike.
00:39Ok, let's get going and don't forget, you can play along at home too.
00:44Ok, our first question is a quickfire question, so fingers on the buzzers.
00:51Which verb form follows used to or would?
00:57A verb with no to.
00:59Leslie?
01:00Good job, Jay.
01:02You are correct.
01:04After using used to or would, we use a bare infinitive verb.
01:08That's a verb with no to.
01:10For example, I used to go every day.
01:13I would go every day.
01:15Jay, you get two points.
01:18Now for our second question.
01:20And this is multiple choice.
01:22Look at these four sentences.
01:25One of them is incorrect.
01:27Which one is it?
01:28And why?
01:31I used to go running every day.
01:34I used to go running every day.
01:35I would go running every day.
01:37I used to be shorter.
01:39I would be shorter.
01:44I used to go running every day.
01:46No, I'm sorry.
01:47That's not right.
01:48I can give you another try.
01:51B, I would go running every day.
01:54Ooh, this is awkward.
01:56Wrong again.
01:58Get to try a third time.
02:01Uh, C, I used to be shorter.
02:04No, three strikes and you're out, I'm afraid.
02:08Mike, why don't you give it a try?
02:10Oh, okay.
02:11D, I would be shorter.
02:13Is the right answer.
02:15And why?
02:16Because he chose the other three answers.
02:19Right again!
02:20Leslie?
02:22Yep, D is incorrect because used to and would
02:26talk about past habits.
02:28But unlike used to, would can only talk about actions, not states.
02:35B is a state, so it is incorrect.
02:39Well done.
02:41Two points for you.
02:43Alright, on to our third and last question.
02:47How does used to change when used as a positive, negative and question?
02:56It's the D. In the positive, used to has a D, but in the negative and the question, we change
03:03the spelling, so no D.
03:04And how does this affect the pronunciation?
03:06Um, it doesn't.
03:09Leslie?
03:11Perfectly right again!
03:13When used to is put into the negative or a question, it changes spelling and loses a D.
03:20However, this does not affect its pronunciation.
03:24For example, I used to dance.
03:26I didn't used to dance.
03:28Did you used to dance?
03:30We all used to dance, Leslie.
03:36We all did.
03:39Well done.
03:40One point for you.
03:41Well, that brings us to the end of today's Grammar Game Show.
03:45Let's count out the points.
03:46And the winner is Mike, with 58 points.
03:51Well done.
03:52Here's what you've won.
03:54A pot of jam!
03:58Fantastic.
03:59Spread the love.
04:01And how did you do at home?
04:03We'll see you again next week, where you can play for an even bigger prize.
04:08And Jay, you had some good answers, but it just wasn't meant to be.
04:14Yes, sir.
04:18Bring forth the Lions.
04:21It looks like we'll need another contestant.
04:24Thanks for joining us.
04:26Say goodbye, Leslie.
04:27Goodbye, Leslie.
04:30See you again next time.
04:46Bye, Leslie.
04:56Bye.
04:59Bye.
04:59Bye.
04:59Bye.
