- Ask students questions regarding a text they read in the previous lesson - Elicit the word 'never' in order to get them to recognize that this is a signal word for using the "present perfect" - Ask students to find examples for "past simple" and "present perfect" within the text they just read - Get them to come up to the board and categorize them into columns accordingly

Cut up signal words for both the "present perfect" and the "past simple" and have students organize them in groups ( of 4) ( phrases found on p 21, activity 2 ) - Give them a handout including an answer key to check their answers themselves

- Put timelines on the board - explain once again that while one's use is time specific, the other is not

- Have students work in pairs to do exercise 3, have them work together to find the correct answers - Take w/c feedback , deal with questions

- Have students arrange their cut- up pieces in circles on their tables and give previously created groups dices - Students move around the table the number of times the dice shows and end up on one certain expression - Have the student then form a sentence using the expression ( and the appropriate tense )

- Divide students into A and B groups - Have them fill in blanks in exercise 3A - Give them answer keys ( found on several places in the classroom) - Have group A students as group B students questions from the exercise and vice versa
