We're off to Cairo! And Now, Let'sTalk about Clothes!

Week 2^nd – 4^th February

Hello everybody! How’s your weekend going?

It looks nice because it’s sunny, but don’t let it take you in (to be fooled)…it’s freezing (very cold)!

We have a new student. Her name is Violeta. Nice to meet you!

Last week, we finished the arrangements for our trip to Cairo.

We decided to organize our trip. Each one of us had a list of four things to do. We ticked (ü) two (things we had already done) and crossed (û) the other two (things we hadn’t done yet) and then we had to phone each other asking about the arrangements of our trip.

We finished talking about present perfect, so this is the summary:

1.    Use present perfect for general experiences without saying asking “when”
Have you ever been to New York?
She’s been to China twice.

2.    Use present perfect to link past with present. To say how long something has been happening or to talk about duration.

     I’ve known my best friend since we were children.(We met when we were kids- past. We know each other- present)      I’ve lived in Madrid for ten years.

3.    To talk about actions recently finished.
He’s just left the office, sorry.
I’ve already fed the dog. 

Remember:

•  He’s gone to London. (He hasn’t come back yet)
• He’s been to Paris. (He went there and he’s back)
•  I’ve been in Madrid for 10 years.(I am in Madrid now)

We also reviewed vocabulary on clothes.

And that was it! See you tomorrow!
