> I went shopping with my best friend then we ate a delicious pizza.
What have you done today?
> I have worked and I have seen some YouTube videos.
Listen what other people have done in the morning and did yesterday. (The interview is in the morning... so the question is: What have you done this morning?)
Simple Past
- The simple past is used to talk about completed/ finished actions in the past.
- The simple past is often used with expressions that refer to points of time in the past. For example:
| at | 4 o'clock/2.12/the end of year/Christmas |
| on | Tuesday/19th March/the 21st/New Year's Day |
| in | January/1999/the 1990s/summer |
| no prepositions | yesterday/yesterday morning/last Monday/next April/a few days ago/ the day before yesterday/when I was young |
Present perfect simple
The present perfect is often used with prepositions or prepositional phrases indicating periods of time that have not finished yet.
Some time expressions used are: today, this morning, this month, this year, so far, this milenium, over the last few weeks, for the last 3 weeks, up to now, etc.
This week we have received a lot of enquiries about our new web site.If we are speaking about a situation after one of these time periods, we use the simple past because we are referring to a period of time that has finished.
(The week has not finished yet, and there may be more enquiries.)
Have you seen John this morning?
(It is now 10.30 in the morning; and the morning has not finished.)
vs
Did you see John this morning?
(It is now 3.00 in the afternoon; the morning has finished.)
Example:
Have you ever worked abroad.
(i.e., In all your life up to now?)
I have never been to China.
(i.e., Not in all your life up to now.)TASK
What did you do last week with your friends?
What have you done this week with your friends? Do you have any plans in mind that you haven't done yet?
I went to the cinema with my best friends and I´ve done exercise currently to be healty and the next week I´m going to swiming with my boyfriend
ReplyDeleteReyna> Are you going to SWIM with your boyfriend next week? Nice! Where?... Just remember that you have to practise "Finished activities(simple past)" vs "Unfinished activities (present perfect"... So you have to say, for example: My boyfriend and I haven't gone swimming this year, so we are planning to go next week to Cuernavaca.
