I believe you all master the form & use of the PRESENT PERFECT. To revise its structure, have a look at the following poster and do some practice!

We have revised the use of ‘already’, ‘just’ and ‘yet’. We have also done an online exercise to practice ‘for & since‘

To revise when to use this verbal tense, have a look at this video!

Now, what is the difference between the present perfect and the simple past? Please, write the answer in your notebook!

Do you think you are ready to do the exercises you missed last day? Shall we have a go? Here they are! If you need further practice, here you can find some other exercises.

To relax, watch and listen to the video. How does it make you feel? Is it a happy song? Why?

Listen to the song again and do these exercises.

The Last Belle is an award winning 2D animated short film. The film was created using ‘old-school’ technology and it features two characters journeying towards a blind date: WALLY, who suffers a nightmarish drunken trip through London as he races against the clock to the rendezvous; and ROSIE, who waits in a bar dreaming of how wonderful her date is going to be…if he ever turns up.

Present simple & continuous. Revision.

This is a great song to start the session with. It also clearly demonstrates the difference between the present simple and the continuous tenses. (It’s also good for showing the use of ‘will’ for promises.) So, please, listen carefully and then, try to explain why she uses the present simple and present continuous!
