# SKIPPED (book): "THIS LINE IS AN INCH LONG." — instructor-read listening skill, select a/b/c images.
INTRO: Now the lesson's main grammar point: the present perfect — for things that started in the past and haven't let go yet. Like Kent's cough, later on.
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Robert | has been | | since Monday. |
We use the present perfect tense to talk about three kinds of actions: (1) those that began in the past and are still happening, (2) those that just ended, and (3) those that occurred at an indefinite time. This lesson covers the verbs **be** and **have**.
**EXAMPLES:**
{They have been here for a month.} (They got here a month ago, and they're still here.)
{Ed has already had dinner.} (He just finished eating.)
{He has been to Europe before.} (I'm not sure when he went.)
We often use **for** or **since** with the present perfect tense. **For** refers to a period of time. **Since** refers to a point in time.
INTRO: Five short exchanges using the present perfect with "for" and "since." Read along and notice which word goes with a period of time, and which with a point.
INSTRUCTION: Read the dialogs.
Sam: Have you had that cold long?
Henry: No, I haven't. I've had it only about two days.
Don: Where has Jan been all morning?
John: She's been at Martha's house.
Mr_Wilson: Has Ali been a student since last fall?
Mr_Roberts: Yes, he has been in school since November.
Larry: Has Kay been in college since she graduated from high school?
Ralph: No, she's only been in college since last year.
INTRO: The tape gives you a sentence with "is" or "are" plus a time expression — your job is to say it correctly in the present perfect, then repeat the model.
INSTRUCTION: Change the sentence to the present perfect.
REPEAT
EXAMPLE
PROMPT: Tom is a car salesman since 1988. {bk11-l1c-f4-01.mp3}
INTRO: Study Vince's week: a business trip to Miami, planned hour by hour. You'll answer questions from this calendar next — it stays open beside you.
#### Vince's Business Trip
| | MON | TUE | WED | THUR | FRI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Morning** | make airline reservations | 10:00 – pick up ticket at travel agency | 8:00 – work with other salesmen at office | | back in N.Y. office |
| **Afternoon** | | 2:00 – flight departs N.Y. for Miami | same | 1:30 – arrive at airport <br> 4:30 – depart Miami | |
INTRO: In this part you'll ask about length of time — exactly what a doctor asks you. "How long" works with any tense; you just move the question words to the front.
The phrase **how long** is used to introduce questions about length of time.
INTRO: Same skill, reading version: you see the answer on screen — say the "how long" question that would produce it.
INSTRUCTION: Ask a question with "how long" based on the answer shown.
INPUT: speak
CHECK: llm
RUBRIC: Accept a correctly formed "how long" question that matches the information given in the answer; the tense must match the answer's tense — a wrong tense fails.
EXAMPLE
TEMPLATE: I've been at this base for three months.
RESPONSE: How long have you been at this base?
TEMPLATE: He's been a major for two years.
RESPONSE: How long has he been a major?
TEMPLATE: I was in class all day.
RESPONSE: How long were you in class?
TEMPLATE: I studied for the test all evening.
RESPONSE: How long did you study for the test?
TEMPLATE: They've been married since last summer.
RESPONSE: How long have they been married?
TEMPLATE: She's been an instructor here for five years.
RESPONSE: How long has she been an instructor here?
TEMPLATE: He's had that bad cough for a month.
RESPONSE: How long has he had that bad cough?
TEMPLATE: My brother's had that job since he graduated.
RESPONSE: How long has your brother had that job?
TEMPLATE: They'll be in Houston all weekend.
RESPONSE: How long will they be in Houston?
TEMPLATE: She's been in the hospital since Sunday.

# Source: ST §The Present Perfect Progressive Tense
$GRAMMAR The Present Perfect Progressive Tense
ID: l1-s21
INTRO: One more tense in this part: the present perfect progressive — for actions that started in the past, are still going, and show no sign of stopping.
Like the present perfect tense, the present perfect progressive tense is used to refer to actions or events that began in the past and continue into the present.
There is a difference between the two tenses. The present perfect progressive is closer to the present than the present perfect is. The present perfect progressive stresses that an action or event is not finished. It also suggests that it will continue into the future.
**EXAMPLE:**
{They've been talking on the phone for an hour.}
*(They're talking now and may talk for another hour.)*
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keith | has | been | studying since 4:30. |
| Ann and Bob | have | been | studying since 4:30. |
INTRO: For each picture, use the cue to ask a present perfect progressive question — then answer it from what the picture shows. Sometimes the picture disagrees with the cue; trust the picture.
INSTRUCTION: Ask and answer a question using the cue and the picture.
INPUT: speak
CHECK: llm
RUBRIC: Treat the model answer as the key. Require a question built from the cued verb and time phrase plus an answer matching the model's facts; the present perfect progressive form is the point — a wrong tense fails. Accept minor wording differences.

PROMPT: read/since 6:30 {st-page_038_001.jpg}
RESPONSE: Has he been reading that book since 6:30? Yes, he's been reading it for an hour and a half.
