B. Motivation
Ask your student if he/she has already watched Train to Busan in a form of question
have you watched Train to Busan? Wait for his/her reply and say I have watched that
film so now I dont like riding trains anymore because Im afraid of zombies! Ask
him/her what the verb is in the sentence and the result. Explain that one of present perfect

than of the action itself.

present.

V. Assignment
Your student will ask their other teachers if they have already tried Korean food. Their teacher
must reply in present perfect tense. The format of the sentence should be statement + result
e.g. I have tried Korean food already, so now, I want to try Japanese food or I havent tried
Korean food yet, so now, Im planning to try Kimchi.
Present Perfect

Has/Have + V-Past Participle

There are five conditions for Present Perfect . One of those is when an action that happened in the past
(past action for short) has effect now right after it was said by the speaker. The present perfect tense is
used to talk about past events when we think more of their effect in the present than of the action itself.
In this condition, state the result.

(Make an anagram)

Eg.

eat ate eaten

A past participle indicates past or completed action or time. It is often called the 'ed' form as it is
formed by adding d or ed, to the base form of regular verbs, however it is also formed in various
other ways for irregular verbs. - See more at:
