Introduction, 5-7 minutes

Good morning everyone, how are you doing today?

Today, i want to play a little game with you called, two truths and a lie, have you ever played it before?

Okay, so for those of you who don't know you have to tell me three sentences about you. It can be
anything, however, one of those three sentences has to be a lie and we will have to guess which one it is,
okay?

I would also like you to use these three prompt sentences. „I have never________“ „I have been ___ing
recently“ and „I haven't _____ yet“, okay. Understood? Okay, you have one minute to think of your three
sentences.

Ready? You have your three sentences? Okay, my three sentences are:

I HAVE NEVER EATEN A MANGO

I HAVE BEEN DYEING MY HAIR RECENTLY

I HAVEN'T BROKEN A BONE, YET.

What do you think is the lie?

Okay, yes, good job, I haven't been dyeing my hair recently.

Okay, who wants to go next?

We learned a lot about each other here, yeah?

Does anyone have an idea what verb form we used here? I have been skiing i have broken? Huh, yes,
that's right present perfect simple and continuous. Good job.

So for the present perfect simple we know the form, and we know that it isu sed fora n action that began
in the past and is still going on or it has just now finished. In many cases, both of these forms are correct,
however there is a slight difference in meaning.

Present perfect simple emphasozes the result and completion. We know that something has finished
right? I have written 5 letters. Am i finished with writing? Yes, good job. And present perfect continuous
focuses on the duration and continuous course of the task. For example, i have been waiting fora n hour.
Has the action ended? Possibly, but that doesn't seem important does it? What we find important here is
how long i've been waiting, right?

From these we can conclude that present perfect simple expreses that an action is permanent and led us
to a desired/ wanted result. And present perfect continuous exrpresses that an action is temporary and it
ha san unwanted side effect. For example. I have washed the car. We like the fact that someone washed
the car, right? It's useful and desired. However if i say. Why are your clothes all wet, and you say i've been
washing the car. We see that there's a difference in that we maybe regret washing the car because we
got our clothes wet.

Okay, so for the next activity, please open your books and take a look at the text, I will play it for you,
listen carefully. I need you to keep an eye out for verbs in Present Perfect Simple and Present Perfect
Continuous. After we finish listening, I will ask you to read out one example of the verb and tell me is it
Present Perfect Simple or Present Perfect Continuous and why. Okay? Let’s listen.

Okay, so who can tell me have they heard or seen any verb in PPS and PPC?

Present Perfect Simple

Have been

Have made

Have made

Have uploaded

Have found

Present Perfect Continuous

Have been asking

Have been creating

Have been taking

Have been looking

Have been reading

Good job, all of you. Moving on, i would like you to look at your books again and find exercise 4 Choose
the correct option. You need to decide whether Present Perfect Simple or Present Perfect continuous is
more appropriate in these sentences. And you will have to tell me why you chose what you did. You have
3 minutes.

Okay, are you done? Good job. Okay, so what do we have that's correct in the first sentence?

1. Here you are. I’ve made you a necklace. Do you like it?

2. I’ve been interested in fashion since I was about twelve.

3. I’m really tired. I’ve been shopping all morning.

4. I’ve tried on five different dresses and I don’t like any of them!

5. I’ve been wearing these shoes all evening and my feet really hurt.
Good job everyone, I'm so happy you're this acttive.

Why did you choose these?

Good, job, now next, we will do the exercise right under the one we just did. Now i need you to work in
pairs. It works the way you’re sitting right now. So, look at task 5. Now you need to formulate the
questions using Present Perfect Simple and Present Perfect Continuous. After you’ve done that, turn to
your partner and ask them these questions. It would be best if you wrote down the answers so you
remember this about your partner, because you will need to present it. You have 3 minutes. Talk it out
with your partner, but don’t disrupt any other pair from working.

1. How long have you had your mobile phone? (Expected answer from pairs “I have had it for a year, I
have got it last month, I have had it for 3 years etc.”)

2. How long have you been learning English? (Expected answers from pairs “I have been learning for 5
years, I have been learning for 10 years, I have been learning English since I was 8, etc”)

3. How long have you known your best friend? (Expected answer from pairs “I’ve known her for a year,
I’ve known her since we were 6, etc.”)

4. How long has your favorite shop been open? (Expected answers from pairs: “It’s been open for a few
years now, it has been open since 2021, etc.”)

Now i've given you some handouts, all of you do not have the same dialogue, so work with your partner i
want you to fill in the gaps with your partner using PPS and PPC. After that you will have to act it out for
us. One member of the pair will be Annie the other will be Gemma. Okay, you have about 5 minutes.

Handout 1:

Annie: Have you taken (you/take) the dog for a walk yet?

Gemma: No, I haven’t, I have been working (work) all day. I have just come (come) home from work and I
haven’t had (not have) the time to walk the dog yet.

Anna: So, how long has the dog been (the dog/ be) home alone?

Gemma: For about 6 hours. You have walked (walk) the dog zero times since last weekend. Why don’t
you take him for a walk?

Anna: Well, I have been doing (do) things all day too, you know. I have a very important meeting
tomorrow and I haven’t finished (not/finish) my presentation yet.

Gemma: Okay, I will go then. Have you seen (you/see) the collar and the leash?

Anna: They are in the kitchen. By the way, have you eaten (you/eat) anything yet? If not, could you get us
something from the supermarket?
Handout 2:

Anna: Where are you, Gemma? I’ve been waiting for you. What have you been doing (you/do)?

Gemma: I have been looking (look) for a necklace to wear with my new dress.

Anna: Have you searched (you/search) online?

Gemma: Yeah, but I haven’t found anything yet.

Anna: Has your sister helped (your sister/help) you?

Gemma: Of course she hasn’t. She has been watching (watch) TV all afternoon, as usual. She hasn’t done
(not/do) anything helpful at all.

Anna: Well, listen to me. I have been shopping (shop) in town and I’ve just seen the perfect necklace for
you in the second – hand shop.

Gemma: I haven’t even thought (even/not/think) about that shop. Let’s go now!

Now we ave a little extra time, so i have prepared another task for you, now it has something to do with
PPC, but not the verb form itself.

I will again give you some handouts, no you do not have the same ones, and individually you will have to
fill in the gap using for, since and all where you see fit. Okay. You have two minutes.
