3) GRAMMAR: PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE AND CONTINUOUS: Look at the video, complete the missing words and answer the questions at the end of the video.
[1:28] So let's start by talking about the present perfect simple tense and the present perfect continuous tense.
They have __________ the pizza.
So this is the present perfect simple tense. We have the auxiliary verb, have, with our main verb in past participle form.
They have ________ _________ the pizza.
Now this is the present perfect ________________ tense. We still have the auxiliary verb, have, but now we have the word, been, and our main verb in a continuous or progressive form.
So when you compare these two sentences, the main difference is that the first one tells us that the action ______________in the past, there is no more pizza, now in the _______________.
The second sentence – the present perfect continuous tense – suggests that there is still pizza left now. They haven't eaten all of the pizza,______.
We can use either of these tenses to talk about __________ _______ _______ in the past but they're somehow ____________to the present.She has borrowed our car.
So this is an action that happened in the past but it's important to the present because we don't have a car right now. We're focused _____ ______ ________when we're using the present perfect simple.
"She's _________ __________ our car every Thursday."
Now, this sentence suggests that the action is still ____________. So next Thursday, she'll probably borrow the car again. So here, our focus is on the action. The action is ____________.
Now the present perfect continuous is _______ _______ ________ when the focus is on an activity that is unfinished.
[6:15] Okay this last example is a little more difficult to explain and understand. There are a few verbs in English like the verb, live andwork, where the difference between the present perfect simple and the present perfect continuous is _______ _________. But I'm going to try and explain it for you now.
I've lived________ for five years.
"I'm from Melbourne originally, but I've ________ _________ here for five years."
So both of these sentences use the adverb, for, to give us more information about how long the action has been happening for, the duration of time.
But to understand the difference, we need to think about these examples in slightly ________ ______.
The present perfect simple, I have lived, suggests that the action is a _____________ thing. The present perfect continuous often tells us that the action is a more ______________ thing. It's not as permanent. It suggests that I might live somewhere else, in the future.
1. When should I use the present perfect simple and when should I use the present perfect continuous? [01:28]
HELLO DEAR STUDENTS! WELCOME TO OUR VIRTUAL CLASSES. TODAY YOU´LL START WORKING WITH QUESTION TAGS, IT IS A REVISION TO HELP YOU WITH EXTRA PRACTISE OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT ARE SO USED AND USEFUL. LET´S START! 1) Watch this video and complete the question tags:
1. Oh you did, ...............?
2. It's great, ..............?
3. It never is , ..............?
4. You never stop talking, ..............?
5. You'd love that, .................?
6. Subtlety isn't her strong suit, .............?
Listen again and match them to the use/feeling ('e' matches to 2 sentences).
a) checking if someone agrees with your opinion (sounds certain).
b) Checking that someone did something (sounds a little worried).
c) An enthusiastic response to a positive statement/compliment (sounds happy).
d) Accusing someone of hoping something bad will happen (sounds angry)
e) Knows the answer already (sounds tired of the other person) - matches to 2 of the sentences.
Think about how they pronounce the question tags too (to show feeling, does the intonation rise or fall, connected speech)
2) Now you will open this link and find more practice for Question Tags.
