Warm-up

3. What did you buy last week that you didn't really need?

Grammar rule

Grammar from units 1–3

Unit	Grammar	Example
1	present perfect simple (results, how many) and continuous (activities, how long)	I've sold my car. I've been packing all week.
2	future perfect simple and continuous: before or up to a future time	By then, I'll have learned some Spanish. By June, I'll have been living there for three months.
3	should have / could have + past participle, didn't need to + verb	I should have started earlier. I could have borrowed hers. I didn't need to buy them.

Three things to watch: state verbs (know, own, be) are not usually continuous; after by the time, use the present simple (by the time you listen, not will listen); after should, could and would, use have + past participle (should have gone, not should have went).
