I have 4 children

I have had a cat since I was 9

Can anyone tell me which tense these are? 

I have 4 children - present simple 

I have had a cat since I was 9 - Present perfect.    STARTED in the PAST and is STILL see the result TODAY. 

In the summer I went on holiday to .............

can someone guess?

Did anyone else go on holiday to Sweden? 

Where did you go on holiday?

In my free time I like to bake. 

- Cakes, birthday cakes for my kids

- Christmas cakes. 

SCONES and Millionaire's schortbread (Scottish).  Mince pies. 

One of my favourite things to do is to make  Birthday tables! 

Does anyone else like to make birthday tables? 

Can you guess where I was from? 

Who wasn't born in Den Haag or Voorburg? 

Is this sentence correct: I have lived in England 2 years ago

RIGHT

WRONG

Just to see where you are at.  I haven't explained it yet, so don't worry if you don't know.  What do you think? 

- this is a common mistake.  

- It happened in the past 

- Is it relevant today? Can you see the result today? 

- Should use PAST SIMPLE: I lived in England 2 years ago. 

IF it is not definite you can use it.  This example, time has stopped.  

There are lots of rules, you will see them in your book. BUT i really want you remember this one.  I think it is THE MOST common mistake for Dutch speakers.  So remember:

- I HVAE LIVED IN ENGLAND. (you may live there again, your still alive, it's not definite). 

- OR, if it is still happening:  

Is this sentence correct: I have lived in Voorburg for 10 years

RIGHT

WRONG

Subject   +    HAVE/HAS    +     Past participle (verb + 'ed)

 - Happened at some point in the past and still happening today? 

- Happened at some point in the past and not important when? 

- Happened in the past and can see the result today? 

I have lived in England 2 years ago. 

I have lived in Voorburg for 10 years
