Last class we did some exercises from pages 51 and 52. Now everyone should be confident about the use of the prepositions FOR and SINCE. Check the examples:
- I have known my Top 3 Flex students for three weeks. (Period of time)
- We have been in class for one hour.(Period of time)
- We have been in class since 6:45 PM. (the moment, hour, day, month the "action" started.)
We use present perfect in various situations, one of which is to TALK ABOUT EVENTS THAT STARTED IN THE PAST AND ARE STILL GOING ON:
- Edson has lived in Brasilia since 1990. He has lived here for 12 years.
- Sheila has been a student in Thomas Jefferson for three weeks. She is new at school.
We also use the Present Perfect Tense to TALK ABOUT EVENTS THAT HAPPENED AT AN INDEFINITE TIME IN THE PAST:
- Emerson has written a comment in our blog. Have you read it?
- Adriana has chosen a book for the speech class.
Emerson has suggested that we visit a great blog for English language learners.
