Unit 3 Language in use
Ask students to think of three situations in their lives that started in the past and still continue. Tell them to write them down. For example:
I live near my grandparents.
I study at this school.
I haven't seen my glasses.
Read the sentences in the box as a class and ask students to tell you what "for" and "since" mean.
Ask students to rewrite their three situations, using the present perfect and "for" or "since", so that they can tell people how long this situation has been happening. For example, I’ve lived near my grandparents since I was born./ I’ve studied at this school for many years./I haven't seen my glasses since the weekend.
Monitor and help as necessary. Then ask three or four students to write some of their sentences on the board as examples.
For & Since
Tell students to look at the sentences in the language box and tell you where '"for" and "since"
go in a sentence.
Draw students' attention to the feet that these words are frequently used with the present perfect. Point out that the difference between “for" and "since" is as follows:
for + (length of time); for three weeks, for five minutes, for three centuries
^ since + (when the situation started); since winter, since my birthday, since this morning
