Today's lesson
Today we will revise the past tenses, and in particular the use of the present perfect.
If your brain hasn't exploded :-) we will start looking at the future tense

A little revision
When we talk about the past, we can use 3 different constructions.
- Can you name these 3?
- How are they constructed?
- When do you use each construction?
Slide 2 - Slide
past simple
verb+ED
(Regular - 2nd row)
Past continuous
To be + verb +ing
Present perfect
Have/ has + verb +ED
(Irregular - 3rd row)
Slide 3 - Slide
Create sentences for these situations
Slide 4 - Slide
Practise time!
How was your week? Tell me about a few different things that happened, try to incorporate the past simple and past continuous
Slide 5 - Slide
When to use the present perfect
1. When we talk about things that started in the past and are still happening (or still have an effect today)
Eg I have lived in Venlo since 2014
2. When talking about a period of time which hasn't finished yet
I have been to the studio twice this week
Saying "I went to the studio twice this week" implies you won't be going to the studio anymore.
Slide 6 - Slide
When to use the present perfect
3. When we talk about things that we did regularly in the past and we don't mention a specific time
Eg We have visited Portugal several times
You could say "We visited Portugal twice last year" .
4. When we talk about something that we just finished
Eg I have just finished tidying up
(What is wrong with "I finished tidying up"? )
Slide 7 - Slide
When to use the present perfect
5. When we talk about something we did in the past but it's not important when we did it
Eg I have read this book already

Practise time: Tell me a few facts about yourself, where you use the present perfect

The future tense
We can use different constructions when talking about the future. The following slides will focus on two constructions. (There are more, but we will ignore them for the time being).
Slide 10 - Slide
Will/shall + be going to
Slide 11 - Slide
will/shall + infinitive
- Predictions (without proof): I think they will win the game.
- Promises: I will always love you.
- Offers (in questions: shall): I'll help you carry your bags.
- Decisions/announcements: The Summer Olympics will take place in August 2021.

be going to
to be (am, is, are) + going to + infinitive
• to describe an intention
I’m going to keep a diary
• to talk about a future plan
We are both going to study in the USA next summer.
• to make a prediction about the future based on something we can SEE in the present (evidence).
Look at those clouds. It’s going to rain.
Slide 13 - Slide
Will/shall + infinitive
- Predictions without evidence,
- Spontaneous decisions.
- Promises

To be going to + infinitive

Slide 14 - Slide
Practise time
We have looked at 2 constructions for talking about the future:

be going to + verb
How could you use these constructions in your insta writing? When would you use the 2 different constructions? Can you give example sentences?
