D. Possible students’ problems with the lesson
- Ss confuse how long did…? with how long was/were…? and confuse answers of simple past with
present perfect (use since for simple past)
- Ss find it hard to guess meanings of unknown words using context clues
3. GRAMMAR
Tr writes four sentences on the board and asks the Ss some questions:
1. I went shopping with my close friends last weekend.
2. I have learned Chinese for five months.
3. She has been living in Battambang since 2002.
Tr asks the questions:
* What tenses do I use in these sentences? (Past simple, present perfect, present perfect continuous)
* Which sentence is in past simple? (Number 1)
* Which sentence is in present perfect? (Number 2)
* Which sentence is in present perfect continuous? (Number 3)
Tr elicits the form from the students:
-Past simple: S + V2 + Obj.
-Present perfect: S + have/has + V3 + Obj.
-Present continuous: S + have/has + been + Verb-ing + Obj.
Exercise A
1- T plays the audio and ask the students to listen and repeat the sentences in the Grammar Box.
2- T explains the grammar point about the Form and Usages. T explains that we can ask questions with How long
in different tenses including simple past, present perfect, and present perfect continuous.
Usage: We use simple past for actions or situations that have ended. The present perfect and present perfect
continuous are used with situations or actions that continue up to the present.
Notice: In question with how long, the present perfect and present perfect continuous have the same basic meaning.
However, we often use the perfect continuous when we want to talk about the duration or how long the
activity lasted.
Some verbs, such as be, like, love, want, need, and know, cannot be used with continuous tenses.
Example: - How long have you known her? For five years. We live together now.
- Incorrect: How long have you been knowing her?
T highlight the form by writing on the board.
Simple Past
How long + was/ were + subject…? How long were you a teacher?
Subject + was/ were + time expression I was a teacher from 2005 to 2012
How long + did + subject + base form…? How long did you live in Japan?
Subject + simple past verb + time expression I lived in Japan for two years.
Present Perfect
How long + have/ has + subject + past participle…? How long have you studied Chinese?
Subject + have/ has + past participle + time expression I have studied Chinese for six months.
Present Perfect Continuous
How long + have/ has + subject + been + verb+ ing…? How long have you been living here?
Subject + have/ has + verb + ing + time expression I have been living here since 2010.
