Online Class Notes (Joe) (s) (w)

We focused on the differences between ‘have been doing’ and ‘have done’. We also practiced the passive voice.

Let’s practice what we have learned in a role play conversation.
In the next class we ask and answer questions using ‘have/has’, ‘have/has been + verb 4’, ‘have/has + verb 3’ and the passive voice ‘have/has been + verb 3’.

Grammar

Have + been + verb 4 (means that the action started in the past and is continuing into the present OR finished in the recent past.)
I have been reading a great book (I’m not finished reading the book)
I have just been swimming (I finished swimming very recently)

Have + verb 3 (means that an action finished in the recent past)
I have read a great book (before)
I have just read a great book (very recently)
