Warm-up

Before we look back at unit 1:

1. Have you ever done something for charity, like a run, a ride or a bake sale? What was it?
2. How have you been practicing your English between our lessons?
3. What do you hope you will have learned by the end of this course?

Grammar rule

The five forms of unit 1

Lesson	Form	Use	Example
1	have done / have been doing	the result (what is done, how many) / the activity (how long)	We've repainted two rooms. We've been repainting the house all week.
2	had been doing	how long, up to a moment in the past	She'd been gardening for three hours when her neighbor came over.
3	will have done	finished by a time in the future	By Sunday, we'll have unpacked every box.
4	will have been doing	how long, up to a moment in the future	In May, he'll have been coaching the team for five years.
5	could have done	possible, but it didn't happen	I could have asked for help, but I was too proud.

Four things to watch: a number or a total takes the simple form (have done, had done, will have done), and so do state verbs like know and own; with for + a period up to a past moment, use had been doing, not was doing; after by the time and when, use the present simple for the future; after have, use the past participle (could have gone, will have written), and after been, -ing.
