PRACTICE # 9 - PRESENT PERFECT

Grammar

Copy the notes below:

The present perfect simple expresses an action that is still going on or that stopped recently, but has an influence on the present.

Form of Present Perfect

	Positive	Negative	Question
I / you / we / they	I have spoken.	I have not spoken.	Have I spoken?
he / she / it	He has spoken.	He has not spoken.	Has he spoken?

For irregular verbs, use the participle form (see list of irregular verbs, on book page 164). For regular verbs, just add “ed”.

Examples:

She has written five letters.
School has not started yet.
She has cooked dinner.
I have never been to Australia.

PRACTICE # 8 - PRESENT CONTINUOUS FOR FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS

Grammar:

We can use the present continuous structure to talk about plans in the future when they are already scheduled (programados).

Copy the notes below:


Examples

I’m visiting my friend tomorrow.
They are coming to our house on Saturday.
What are you doing tonight?

NOTA QUE EN ESTA ESTRUCTURA ES IMPORTANTE USAR UNA EXPRESIÓN DE TIEMPO. (tomorrow, next week, after school, etc.)

Remember!

We can use the present continuous to talk about arrangements (plans which you have organised) in the future.

My brother is playing football with his friends tonight.
I’m going to the cinema at the weekend.
Are you having a party for your birthday?

Be careful!

We usually use the present continuous when the activity has been arranged. We usually use ‘going to’ for a plan which hasn’t been arranged.

I’m meeting Emma after school. (I have talked to her and organised the time to meet.)
I’m going to watch TV after school. (This is my plan but I haven’t organised it.)


We say... We don’t say...

My grandma is visiting us next week. (NOT My grandma visits us next week.)
We’re going to Spain for our next holiday. (NOT We go to Spain for our next holiday.)
Is he helping his mum tomorrow? (NOT Is he tomorrow helping his mum?)
