$GRAMMAR Before and Now: Still, Any Longer, Anymore
ID: l1-s7
INTRO: Two pictures of the same street, two years apart. Here's how English says what has changed — and what stubbornly hasn't.
CARD: Use **still** when a situation from the past continues to happen now.
{Jane still lives on Elm Street.}
CARD: Use **any longer** when a situation has stopped. It always goes at the end of a negative sentence.
{The Robinsons don't live there any longer.}
CARD: You can also use **anymore**. It means the exact same thing as **any longer** and also goes at the end of a negative sentence.
{They aren't neighbors anymore.}
SUMMARY:
| BEFORE | NOW |
|---|---|
| Two years ago, Jane lived in the white house on Elm St., and Ann Robinson lived in the house next to hers. | Today, Jane {still} lives on Elm Street, but the Robinsons don't live there {any longer}. They aren't neighbors {anymore}. |

$GRAMMAR The Present Perfect Tense
ID: l1-s9
INTRO: Now the star of this lesson: the present perfect — the tense for things that started in the past and still matter now.
CARD: We use the present perfect to talk about things that connect the past to the present. Let's look at how time changes with the verb **have**.
{John has a red car now.}
{John had a red car last year.}
{John has had a red car for six months.}
CARD: Here is the same pattern with the verb **be**. The present perfect shows that a state began in the past and continues today.
{Robert is in New York today.}
{Robert was in New York Thursday.}
{Robert has been in New York since Monday.}
CARD: We use the present perfect for actions that began in the past and are still happening right now.
{They have been here for a month.}
CARD: We also use this tense to talk about actions that have just ended.
{Ed has already had dinner.}
CARD: Finally, we use it for things that occurred at an indefinite time in the past, often to talk about life experiences.
{He has been to Europe before.}
CARD: We often use **for** or **since** with the present perfect tense. Use **for** to talk about a period or length of time.
{Jim has been in the Army for five years.}
CARD: Use **since** to refer to a specific starting point in time.
{He has been a captain since February 1.}
SUMMARY:
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| John | has | | now. |
| John | had | a red car | last year. |
| John | has had | | for six months. |
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robert | is | | today. |
| Robert | was | in New York | Thursday. |

INTRO: In real speech, "has" and "have" almost always shrink. Here is the full set of contractions — you'll hear them constantly in the drills ahead.

{I've}
{you've}

{I've been here for a month.}
CARD: The word "has" shrinks in the exact same way after he, she, and it.
{he's}
{she's}
{it's}
CARD: For negative statements, "have" and "has" attach directly to the word "not".
{haven't}
