Focus on meaning (5-10 minutes) • Grammar Present Perfect with for and since

Can anyone remember the Past Simple? Can anyone remember the Present Perfect Simple? When do we use it? Yes we use it to show a connection between Present time and Past time. We use it for states that happened in the past and continue in the present. The state is unfinished. Eg. I’ve been to to several cities in Turkey since I arrived in Turkey 1 year ago. When was it? Past Present or Future? Am i still in Turkey? Am i travelling now? İ could be. Has the action been completed? Is it finished? No therefore its a state that began in the past and continues For example Present Perfect Simple She’s had a dog for many years ( and still has it) Past Simple She had a dog for many years (but she doesn’t have it now) Can you tell me the difference between the 2 sentences above.

Controlled Practice (5-10 minutes) • Students to practice using present perfect

Section 2 Exercise 1 pg 97. Here is a text with blanks. What are you going to do? What verbs do you think you are going to put in? Yes but be aware that you may need to put in more than one word in some gaps. Lets do the 1st 1 together. Oscar Werbeniuk, who is 61, whats the tense present perfect or past simple. Remember the writer is writing now not in the past. If events started in the past and continue up to now then we need the Present Perfect. If the events are entirely in the past we cannot use the Present Perfect. A FROM THE PAST UP TO NOW = PRESENT PERFECT B A MOMENT IN THE PAST = PAST SIMPLE C A PERIOD IN THE PAST THAT DOESNT COME UP TO NOW = PAST SIMPLE Ok so Oscar has he lived in the house from the past up to now? Yes Was it just a moment in the past? No Was it a period in the past that doesnt come up to now? No Therefore what is the answer A he has lived... Oscar has lived all his life in the same New Jersey house or does he still live here? Yes İs the action finished? No Oscar lived all his life in the same house. İs the action finished if i use this grammar. Yes the Present Perfect Simple or the Past Simple.
