LESSON 42 / Target Language – Would like
PRESENTATION:
[1] -Focus on why we use present perfect rather than past tense with students. Explain that we want to
know some information from a past event that might have an impact on a decision or discussion we
are having in the present. When the actions happened in the past are not important.
ANSWERS: Quick Grammar Exercise - Write the question for the answer provided.
[1] Have you ever gone snowboarding?
-Yes, I have gone snowboarding.
[2] Have you been to the dentist this year?
- No, I haven’t been to the dentist this year.
[3] Have you traveled to America?
- Sure, I have traveled in America many times.
[4] Have you ever ridden in a helicopter?
- Nope, I have never ridden in a helicopter.

-one student makes a "Have you ever" question for their partner and their partner answers it with
either "Yes I have" or " No, I haven't" If they answer with yes they need to add one more sentence
to explain it more in detail. And if they answer no they need to add one more sentence to tell why
they haven't done or experienced that.
