Sorter Past Simple or Present Perfect with Harry Potter
Past Simple
Present Perfect
Er – Petunia, dear – you haven’t heard from your sister lately, have you?
As I say, even if You-Know-Who has gone.
Even the Muggles have noticed something’s going on.
The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The owls have suddenly changed their sleeping pattern.
He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck
At half past eight, Mr Dursley picked up his briefcase, pecked Mrs Dursley on the cheek.
He didn’t know why, but they made him uneasy
My dear Professor, I’ve never seen a cat sit so stiffly
Mr Dursley gave himself a little shake and put the cat out of his mind.
They’ve had a downpour of shooting stars!
They didn’t think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters.
And finally, bird-watchers everywhere have reported that the nation’s owls have been behaving very unusually today.
And the old man hugged Mr Dursley around the middle and walked off.
