You used to.....

USED TO AND PAST TENSES

 

Listen to the song and fill in the blanks with proper past tenses

Now and then I think of when we __________(be) together
Like when you said you _______(feel) so happy you _________ (can) die

_________ (tell) myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we _________ (find)that we could not make sense
Well you ________ (say) that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never ____________ (happen) and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[Kimbra]
Now and then I think of all the times you _____________(screw) me over
But ________ (have)  me believing it was always something that I _______ (do)
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

[Gotye]
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

Now listen to a parody of the song, Does it make sense to you? 

 

“Why did I have to learn this stuff? It has never come in handy, never used it for nothing.” 

  1. On a scale from 1 (not at all) to 7 (completely agree), how much do you agree with the singer’s sentiment? Why or why not?

2. What things you consider irrelevant in the educations you are getting?
