T will hand the students a copy of the text used in the previous lesson. Try to elicit a few ideas about it (What is it about?

T will give the students a gap-fill handout to find out the rules about Present Perfect Simple and Continuous. Ask them to work in pairs and complete the tasks about meaning/use first. ICQs: Are you looking at the second part? Are you working in pairs or alone? How many words? Then invite them to mingle and compare their answers with the others (WCF). To check the comprehension of Present Perfect Simple and Continuous: - ASK CCQs: He has lost control. CCQs Is the event in the past? Yes. Is it finished? Yes. Is it recent? Yes. It has been raining all day. CCQs Did it rain in the morning? Yes. Did it rain in the afternoon? Yes. Is it still raining?

Since Francis started at the school he has had problems keeping order. CCQs Did he start teaching at a state school a year ago? Yes. Did he teach there one day/one week? No. Is he still teaching there? Yes. - DRAW A TIMELINE. After meaning/use, clarify the form eliciting it from the students. Ask them to complete the second part of the handout (PW). WCF Write on the WB: PPS AFFIRMATIVE he ׀ has ׀ lost Subj. + have/has + Past Participle NEGATIVE he ׀ hasn’t ׀ lost Subj. + have/has not + Past Participle QUESTION has ׀ he ׀ lost ? have/has. + Subj. + Past Participle PPC AFFIRMATIVE it ׀ has ׀ been ׀ raining Subj. + have/has + been + -ing form NEGATIVE it ׀ hasn’t ׀ been ׀ raining Subj. + have/has not + been + -ing form QUESTION has ׀ it ׀ been ׀ raining ? have/has. + Subj. + been + -ing form Finally, clarify the pronunciation.
