DAY THREE: Wednesday, May 6th, 2020
Step One: Look at the picture below. Analyse the information. When do we use FOR and SINCE in Present Perfect?
Basically, we use FOR and SINCE when we talk about the time of an action. The main difference is this:
FOR: To indicate HOW LONG the activity has been happening.
Example, I've been working for 6 hours.
SINCE: To indicate WHEN the action started happening.
Example: I've been studying in Palermo since 2014.
Step Two: Now let's see if you can see the difference. What would you use for each case? For or Since?
Step Three: Now do the exercises in the following link:
DAY FOUR: Friday, May 8th, 2020
Please look at the picture below. It will show you a review of adverbs of frequency. This words are used to indicate how frequently something happens.
Now that we remember these words that you have seen before, it's time for you to learn how to use them with Present Perfect. It is very simple, you just write the word between the two verbs (have/has ... past participle)
Example:
I have seen that movie.
I have NEVER seen that movie
She has worked in the same office.
She has ALWAYS worked in the same office.
So now it's time to practice:
Do the activities from pages 42 and 43 in your workbook (exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4). If you do not have your workbook with you at home, please take a look at the photos below:
