100 Years Later: Used to vs Past Simple is an engaging ESL grammar lesson that helps students understand the difference between used to and the Past Simple through the theme of life then and now.

The lesson is built around visual prompts and a short video about life in the early 20th century. Students explore how everyday things—such as transport, technology, communication, and household activities—have changed over time. Through guided questions, controlled practice, and personalisation tasks, learners move from noticing grammar in context to using it confidently in their own speaking.

This presentation is ideal for A2–B1 learners, teenage or adult students, and works well in both online and offline classes. The structure follows a communicative approach: lead-in, video comprehension, grammar focus, controlled practice, contrast with Past Simple, and a personalised speaking task.
