Whats been happening lately? TEACHERS NOTES:


Aim: to provide further practice of the Present Perfect or the Present Perfect Continuous. This worksheet is designed to be used in conjunction with unit 5.1. Time: 40 minutes Materials: copies of the worksheet for all students

Students read the mini dialogues and then fill in the gaps. Monitor and point out any mistakes to the students without actually correcting them. Elicit answers from the class.

Students read through the scenarios which depict a situation. They write a sentence using the Present Perfect Continuous to explain how the situation has arisen/ person feels like that. Monitor to check students are working along the right lines. There is no one right answer for each scenario - there are naturally lots of possibilities. Give students time to compare their answers before eliciting sentences from the class.
Suggested answers: 1 Rosa has been working very hard. 2 Mike has been eating really well and exercising regularly. 3 The children have been busy cleaning the house. 4 He's been baking today. 5 She's been working on the finishing touches all day. 6 Dad's been fishing. 7 Mum's been busy gardening all day. 8 She's been having lessons for a month or two.
