Step V Grammar

Help students to learn and practice the present perfect tense. First ask students to find out the sentences using this tense and explain this to them.

T: Well, we get the main idea of this text. Do you have any questions?

S: Yes. Would you please explain this sentence: I have painter six new pictures this week?

T: Wonderful! That’s just what we are going to learn---the Present Perfect tense.

If necessary, speak it in Chinese. And then show the following to the students.

Usage: We can use the present perfect simple to talk about an action completed in the past which has some relevance to the present.

T: Have you got it?

S: Yes!

T: Well, would you please find other similar sentences?

Give students enough time to find, and then show the following sentences to the students.

I have seen some of your paintings.

I have told you before.

T: Have you finished it?

S: Yes.

T: Well, who would like to tell us these sentences?

Ask some students to say the sentences they have found, if necessary show them to students to help them find the sentence structure for the present perfect tense.

T: Can you find some rules?

S: Yes!

Ask some students to answer this, and then show the following to them.

Form: have + done

T: Very good. You know we have learned the past indefinite form of the verbs, and next we’ll look at the past participle form of the words. Now, look at the form.

Show students the following form.

T: Can you give the past indefinite form of these verbs?

S: Yes.

Ask some students to fill in chat of past indefinite form. And then ask them to glance at the conversation to find out the past participle form of these verbs. Then help them find the rule.

Sample answer:

T: So, look at the first line. The rule is…

S: Add –ed.

T: That’s it. However, there are also some irregular verbs. Look at lines 2&3. You have to remember them. Clear?
