Procedures

Warming up by studying grammar

Grammar is so important that it should always be learned and made use of in class.

Today we shall learn to use “ Present perfect with already and yet”

Look at the two sentences:

Have you watered the plants yet? Yes, I have already watered them?

Do you understand the structure of the two sentences?

We shall make more sentences like those.

Have you finished your homework yet? Yes, I have already finished it?

Have you found your bike yet? Yes, I have already found it?

To use the “ Present perfect with already and yet” more in communication, let’s go on to page 110.

1a Thinking and writing

Have you been on a beach vacation yet? If you go on a beach vacation, what three things would you pack?

Think and write your ideas in the chart on page 110.

1b Listening and checking

A family are packing things for a beach vacation. Now listen to their talk, paying attention to the “ Present perfect with already and yet”.

Tapescript

Woman: Have you packed the beach towels yet?

Boy: No, I haven’t. Can’t Judy pack them?

Woman: No, she’s busy. Could you please water the plants?

Boy: I’ve already watered them.

Woman: Oh, thanks.

Man: What about the travel guidebook and the street map?

Boy: Yup. I’ve already put it in my suitcase.

3a Reading and underlining

Here on page 112 is an e-mail message from Crystal. Now read it and underline all the different chores mentioned in it.

Subject: So busy！ From: Crystal

Hi Jake,

Sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner. I have so many chores to do today. I have to do my homework, of course. I started about an hour ago, but I haven’t finished. Then I have to take the dog for a walk, water my mom’s plants, and do some shopping. I haven’t done any of those things yet because my grandfather came to chat to me. He loves talking, and I love listening to him. He started telling me about all of the chores he had to do when he was a kid. He had to get up at 5 am and chop wood and light the fire for breakfast. Then he had to collect water from the village well. Then he had to feed the animals-he and his family lived on the farm.

Anyway, I have to run now.

Take care,

Crystal

Now read the message again to blacken the expressions and circle the “Present perfect with already and yet” structure.
