Tense review: The present perfect 1


Lesson code: 9ZE6-TB9F-CLKT INTERMEDIATE

1 Presentation

The present perfect is used to talk about past actions or situations that have a connection with the present.
It is formed from the verb have + past participle, e.g. I've (= I have) never met him before.
For a list of irregular verb forms, go to http://linguahouse.com/r/1 or use your mobile device to read
the code below:

1) We often use the present perfect to give `new' information, for example when we want to report an
event that happened a short time ago:
Ouch! I've hurt my leg. Has Michael arrived yet? Spain have won the World Cup!
2) We use the present perfect to talk about a repeated past event that may happen again in the future:
Brazil have won the World Cup five times. The doctor has saved many lives.
When there is no possibility that the event will happen again in the future, we use the past simple:
The English King Henry VIII got married six times.
3) We often use the present perfect to talk about a situation that began in the past and continues up to
the present or future. It is often used with time expressions such as since, for, never, etc.:
I've been married for nearly ten years. John hasn't lived alone since 2001.
4) We often use the present perfect to talk about a past event that has a connection with the present:
Look! Masa has had a hair cut! (His hair is different now.)
I've forgotten my dictionary at home. Can I borrow yours? (My dictionary is at home at the moment.)
NOTE: If we say when something happened in the past, we cannot use the present perfect. We use the
past simple: Yesterday, I forgot my dictionary at home, so I borrowed one from a classmate.

Dialogue
A: You look different. Have you been on holiday again ?
B: Yes, I've just got back from Italy.
A: Really? But you've been on holiday five times this year!

The past perfect simple (had + past participle) is used to talk about past actions or situations that
happened before a specific time in the past.

For a list of irregular verb forms, go to http://linguahouse.com/r/1 or scan the code on the right.

event in the past:

When I turned on the TV, the match had already started.
2) The past perfect is the past of the present perfect (have/has + past participle). We use the present
perfect to talk about actions or situations that happened before or up to now:
Jack isn't at home right now. He has already left.

3) We often use the past perfect with time expressions such as already, just, since, for, never, etc.:

1 Review - Predictions
Complete the grammar review with `will' or `going to'.

1
We can use going to + infinitive and also + infinitive to say something that you
think or know about the future:
Our company is going to hire a new marketing manager. I'm certain.
I think he'll come to the meeting.

2
We often use + infinitive to say something that we are sure about the future because
of something that we see or know now. There is a present feeling that a future event will happen:
Look at those clouds! I think it's going to rain.
The boss looks angry. I think he's going to shout at somebody.

3
We often prefer to use + infinitive to say something that we think about the future
when there is no present feeling that the event will happen:
I think it will rain next week.
In the future, I think people won't write emails anymore.

4 Review - Future plans and decisions


Complete the grammar review with `will', `going to' or `present continuous'.

1
We can use + infinitive to talk about plans or decisions for the future:
What are you going to do this weekend?
I'm going to visit an important client next week.
2
We also use the to talk about plans for the future:
What are you doing this weekend?
I'm meeting a client later for lunch.

With the verb go, many English speakers prefer to avoid going to go because it sounds repetitive:
I'm going out tonight. (I'm going to go out tonight.)

3
We use + infinitive when we don't have a plan and to express a spontaneous
decision:
The phone is ringing. I'll answer it.
It's cold here. I'll close the window.

Future plans and decisions


Lesson code: 9ZE6-R5JB-9LK9 INTERMEDIATE

1 Presentation
When we talk about plans or decisions for the future, we can use the present continuous, going to or will
+ infinitive.

Future plans
We use the present continuous to talk about plans or arrangements for the future:
I'm meeting an old friend for lunch tomorrow.
I'm flying to France next Wednesday.
Are you going on holiday this summer?
We do not use will to talk about future plans. We can use will + infinitive to talk about something that
is possible in the future:
`Where are you going on holiday this summer?' `I don't know. Perhaps I'll go to Italy'
Maybe I will see you at the party next week.
will + infinitive is often used with I think, I don't think, I'm sure, probably, perhaps, maybe, etc.

A: We are going to Spain this summer. What about you?


B: I don't know yet. Maybe I will go to Italy.

Decisions for the future


We use going to + infinitive to talk about intentions or decisions for the future:
I've made my decision. I'm going to quit smoking.
Are you going to come to the party tonight?
We use will + infinitive when we make a spontaneous decision at the time of speaking (not before):
`It's cold in here.' `I'll go and shut the window.'
`Can you send me the information I need?' 'Sure, I'll do it right away.'

A: Have you decided what to cook tonight?


B: Yes, I'm going to cook fish and rice.
B: Fine. I'll bring a bottle of white wine.

Future perfect
Lesson code: BBHK-HHA8-QEE2 INTERMEDIATE

1 Presentation
The future perfect simple (will have + past participle) is used to talk about actions or situations that will
be complete before a specific time in the future.

Jack is planning to leave his house at 10pm tonight. If I arrive at 11pm, he'll have already left.

The future perfect is the future of the present perfect (have/has + past participle). We use the present
perfect to talk about actions or situations that happened before or up to now:
Jack isn't at home right now. He has already left.

We often use the future perfect with time expressions such as by and by the time, by this time next ...:
By this time next year, we'll have been married for nearly ten years.
By the time you get there, she'll have gone home.
Compare the future perfect simple with the future perfect continuous (will have + been + verb -ing):

future perfect simple future perfect continuous


We use the future perfect simple to talk about We use the future perfect continuous to talk about
completed actions: activities in progress up to a point in the future:
