English 31st March

PRESENT PERFECT 
FOR and SINCE

1) Remember: to use the Present Perfect, we need:

HAVE / HAS (he/she/it) + PAST PARTICIPLE (ed / third column in irregular verbs)

For example: Hollywood HAS BEEN hosting the Oscars for many years. 

2) Read this information.
present perfect simple-For / Since | La mansion del ingles ...
3) Play these games to practice the combination of the Present Perfect with FOR and SINCE.




4) Comment: Make up 2 sentences using the PRESENT PERFECT. One must contain FOR, the other one SINCE.
