Talking About Yourself and Others

What are we learning today?

You will tell a partner about your life and about other people.

Explanation

• Use the present perfect for life experiences.
• Use "I have" or "I haven't" for yourself.
• Use "he has", "she has" or "she hasn't" for other people.
• Add details: when, where or how.
• Ask "What about you?" to keep talking.

Examples

1. I have never eaten a snake.
2. Anna has never eaten a snake, but she has swum in a cold lake.
3. I have been to Astana twice. My friend has never flown in a plane.

Remember!

• Say "She has been", not "She have been".
• Do not use the past simple for life experience.
• Speak in sentences.
