PRESENT PERFECT!

Start

Two truths and a lie ...

• I have never broken a bone
• I have met the mayor of London
• I have never eaten patatas bravas

• Two of these sentences are true...
• One is a lie!
• Which one do you think it is?!

Two truths and a lie ...

• Write down three sentences about yourself...(facts, life experiences etc.), two of which are true and one of which is a lie.
• They must be things the rest of the class doesn’t know!
• In pairs, take turns reading aloud your sentences and answering questions about them.
• The other has to guess which one is the lie!

Guided Discovery

Take a look at the four sentences...

• Do we know when they happened? NO!
• Do we know if they are all finished? NO!
• So, we can't use the past simple!

Quick test, what is the infinitive form of:

• been = be
• worn = wear
• bought = buy

"Have" and "Has"

Plural

Has

He, She, It

Hot seat

• Students have to describe a word to another classmate.
• Divide the class into two teams. Everyone faces the board.
• On each turn, one student will sit with their back to the board, facing their teammates (if you're on Zoom, I will send it to you in the private chat).
• I will write a word on the board.
• The players must then describe that sentence to the student in the hot seat. Use synonyms, antonyms, definitions etc!
• The round is over when the student in the hot seat says the word!
