Paula Andrea,How's it going?
Well as you already know, this project is meant to encourage the interaction between you (as my tutee or learner) and me as your tutor, in order for you to practice English and improve your English skills while using technology. However, if we want to success in this project, you must participate over the sessions and discuss about the subject matter.
* Please ask me if you have any question or need some help about the topic for this week*
Ok let's work on the topic for this week: The present perfect. However, before we start, I would like you to think about the following questions:
1. Do you know which is its communicative function? I mean, I wonder if you really know in which situations we use the present perfect.
2. What's the grammatical structure for the present perfect?
3. What are the contractions with the present perfect tense?
4. Would you be able to give examples of sentences using present perfect (right now)?
OK, if the answer is not, do not worry, let me give you a hand with this. LET´S START with the first question.
WHAT ARE THE COMMUNICATIVE FUNCTIONS OF THE PRESENT PERFECT?
WHEN TO USE THE PRESENT PERFECT
HOW DO WE MAKE THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE?
AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCE: subject+ auxiliar verb("to have") + past participle. NEGATIVE SENTENCE: subject+ auxiliar verb("to have") + NOT + past participle. INTERROGATIVE SENTENCE: auxiliar verb ("to have") + subject+ past participle + ?
CONTRACTIONS WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE
REMEMBER: Use the simple past, not the present perfect, to talk about a specific time in the past. For example:
1. Do you know which is its communicative function? I mean, I wonder if you really know in which situations we use the present perfect.
2. What's the grammatical structure for the present perfect?
3. What are the contractions with the present perfect tense?
4. Would you be able to give examples of sentences using present perfect (right now)?
OK, if the answer is not, do not worry, let me give you a hand with this. LET´S START with the first question.
WHAT ARE THE COMMUNICATIVE FUNCTIONS OF THE PRESENT PERFECT? WHEN TO USE THE PRESENT PERFECT HOW DO WE MAKE THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE?SUBJECT + AUXILIAR VERB (Have or Has) +MAIN VERB IN PAST PARTICIPLE
FOR EXAMPLE: I have played You have played He has played We have played You have played They have played | Yo he jugado Tú has jugado Él ha jugado Nosotros hemos jugado Vosotros habéis jugado Ellos han jugado |
REMEMBER: If you want to practice and review the past participle, go to this web page and print the chart:
AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCE: subject+ auxiliar verb("to have") + past participle. Example: I have talked to Saray.
NEGATIVE SENTENCE: subject+ auxiliar verb("to have") + NOT + past participle. Example: I have not talked to Saray.
INTERROGATIVE SENTENCE: auxiliar verb ("to have") + subject+ past participle + ? Example: Have you talked to Saray?
CONTRACTIONS WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSEI have I've
You have You've
He has He's
She has She's
It has It's
John has John's
The car has The car's
She has She's
It has It's
John has John's
The car has The car's
We have We've
They have They've
REMEMBER: Use the simple past, not the present perfect, to talk about a specific time in the past. For example:
* she applied for the position at the science institute last week
* NOT She has applied for the position at the science institute last week
Andrea; you will find an audio file and a video that contain information with present perfect. Then you have to do some activities related to it, I hope you like both of them.
