Warm-up

Before we look back at unit 1:

  1. Is there a habit that you have kept for many years? Since when?
  2. What have you been learning outside these lessons lately?
  3. Is there a local shop or bakery that you really like? What is special about it?

1present perfect + for / sinceMy aunt has had her cat for six years / since she moved to Omaha.
2present perfect continuousIt's been snowing since lunch. What have you been doing lately?
3zero conditionalIf I skip breakfast, I'm hungry all morning. When water freezes, it gets bigger.
4unless = if … notThe library doesn't charge late fees unless a book is a month late.
5passive: present and pastTickets are sold online only. The old pier was rebuilt in 2015.
Five things to watch: for + a length, since + a start (not since two weeks); been + -ing, but not with state verbs (I've been knowing); no will in the if part (If it will rain); no extra not after unless (unless you don't come); was / were + past participle, and no did in passive questions (was took, Did it stolen?).

Teach it live with video and a whiteboard, or print it: the PDF has every slide, the homework and the answers.
