To ask the Ss to tell me what auxiliary verb we use to form perfect tense.
# To listen to the conversation between a doctor and patient. # Elicit the answer of these question...What symptoms does the patient have? What does the doctor suggest? # In groups Ss check their answers for the questions
# Give an exercise where the Ss have to fill in the gaps with verbs in Present Perfect simple/ continuous form # Ss listen again to the conversation to complete the exercise. # Ask the Ss to notice the verbs in Past participle form / -ing form # in Pairs they check their answers.
