Childhood vocabulary

4:51

Let's recap the language we heard in our conversation about childhood,

4:51

starting with 'childhood', which is the period of time when you are a child.

4:55

We had 'memory'.

4:57

A memory is something that you can remember from the past.

5:01

We can say that something 'brings back memories',

5:04

which just means that it reminds you of something that happened in the past.

5:09

And when we talk about things in the past, we often use the past

5:13

simple. For example, I said that I played in the street with my friends.

5:19

And we also heard 'used to' and 'would', which is used when we talk

5:24

about things that happened a number of times in the past.

5:27

So, for example, I used to play ice hockey.

5:30

It means: I played ice hockey a lot, and now I don't any more.

5:35

And that's it for this episode of Real Easy English.
