Going Shopping!

Week 3rd- 5th March

Hi everybody!

Sorry for the delay in posting the blog.

What did we do last week?

We studied the use of already, yet and just with present perfect, as well as the use of for, since and ago.

 Already and yet have the same meaning, but their position in the sentence is different. Yet, goes at the end of the sentence whilst already has a mid-position, that is, it goes before the main verb – the same position as adverbs of frequency.

Study these sentences:

?   Have you finished the exercise yet?
 -    I haven’t finished yet.
+    I’ve already finished.

The structure, to have + just + participle refers to an action that has been completed a short time ago.

I’ve just arrived home. (Right  now. A short time ago)

Use of the prepositions, for, since, ago with present perfect or past simple.

 ·          Since is only used with perfect tenses.

He’s lived in Madrid since 2006.

 ·          Ago is only used with past simple.

He moved to Madrid 8 years ago.

 ·          For can be used with both tenses but the meaning of the sentences is different.

He lived in Santander for six years.         He doesn’t live in Santander.
He’s lived in Santander for six years.      He’s probably living in Santander                           
                                                                  now.



We went shopping.
