Ever teach the perfect tense and then find they have forgotten the present tense straight after? Find that your pupils are bogged down by all the details of the perfect tense?
This is an ideal lesson to introduce or, even better, re-introduce the perfect tense because it focuses on just one part of it and puts it directly in comparison with the present tense, so pupils can notice for themselves the differences between them. It gives the attention to meaning and pronunciation before dealing with form in a combined explicit and implicit approach.
This lesson is a more advanced version of my Perfect vs Present tense lesson for KS3. However the activities are completely different, so they can both be used for the same class. Indeed, I used this with a year 9 class who had already done that lesson earlier in the year. Since they were familiar with the listening activity used, it was very quick to do.
There is a worksheet included, but this is not at all necessary to do the lesson.
The recording for the listening activity is included in the powerpoint and as a separate file, but you can also listen to it on RhinoSpike here
The font Trebuchet MS is required to view this powerpoint and the worksheets correctly. This is usually pre-installed on Windows or with Office.
