·       Say: We are going to study the past simple and the present perfect.

·       Draw the line of the present perfect and write the example under it:

                        Every one has heard of William Shakespeare. 

Ask:

® What tense is it? present perfect.

® Do you know exactly when everyone heard of William Shakespeare? No

® Is it important exactly when everyone hear of him?

® Does everyone know about him now? Yes.

% Say: So we don't know exactly when this happened but it affects the present time: we can see the result now of what has happened before.

·       Do the same with the simple past:

Shakespeare lived about four hundred years ago.

Ask:

® What tense is this? past simple.

® Do we know exactly when William Shakespeare lived? yes

® Is it important when he lived? yes

® Is Shakespeare alive or dead now? dead

% Say: So we know exactly when Shakespeare lived but he died in the past. This is not linked to the present.

ØSay: There are a lot of sentences which use the past simple but they are not about things in the past.

® e.g.: If you cycled to the sun, it would take over a thousand years.

           If I threw my glasses against the wall, they would break.

ØWrite an active and a passive  sentence in the past like this:

·       ® Dickens wrote novels.

·       ® Novels were written by Dickens.

·       Ask What is the difference between the both? an active and a passive  sentence.

·       Open PB/2, look at the grammar section, S read aloud the explanations and examples in box 1.
