Procedure

Lead In (3-5 minutes) • To elicit the students' knowledge about present perfect with ' have been'

In this stage, T. is doing a quick revision, applying TTT whereby he tests the students' knowledge about the use of ' have been' to talk about the places they visited. T. writes a sentence on board for the students to correct: I was been to Morocco. Then he discusses the mistake with them ' I have been to Morocco'.

Presentation ( Language Clarification) (15-17 minutes) • To differentiate the simple past tense from the present perfect tense

T. directs the students' attention to the grammar spot to find out the difference between the simple past and the present perfect. T. asks which actions are completed and finished and which actions are still in progress. T. shows the timeline of both tenses. Next, T. asks students to match the time expressions with the appropriate tense. Next, T. explains when to use ' ever' and 'never' according to the type of a sentence.

Controlled Practice (15-20 minutes) • To practice the difference between the simple past tense from the present perfect tense

This steps contains three gradual steps. First, T. directs students' attention to the WB to answer exercise no, page.. The exercise is applicable to the difference between the two tenses through focusing on the use of time expressions: yesterday, last..., ago. The second step is to move to exercise 1 page 107. Here, the students are required to write the correct form of the past participle of each verb. The T. may show a complete list covering irregular verbs after he gives feedback for their answers. The list is supposed to be supplementary. Third, T. asks students to exercise no. 1 page 108 where the student's listen carefully to the story of Ryan and tick the things he has done in his life. They also tick the things he has not done. T. shows the answer key and gives comments on the things students may answer differently.
