2. ETAPA ESTRUCTURACIÓN: PRÁCTICA

Present Perfect
The present perfect is made using the auxiliary verb have plus the past participle of the main verb.

The past participle, for regular verbs, is the same as the past simple.

Infinitive Past Simple Past Participle

work worked worked


live lived lived
watch watched watched

So we have, for the present perfect:

I have worked
He has lived
They have watched

For the past participle of irregular verbs, check http://www.english-area.com/paginas/irregulares.pdf

Here is the verb live in all forms of the present perfect.

Present Perfect
Positive Negative Question

I have lived I haven't lived Have I lived?


You have lived You haven't lived Have you lived?
He has lived He hasn't lived Has he lived?
She has lived She hasn't lived Has she lived?
It has lived It hasn't lived Has it lived?
We have lived We haven't lived Have we lived?
You have lived You haven't lived Have you lived?
They have lived They haven't lived Have they lived?

She's not lived is also possible but not as common as she hasn't lived

We use the present perfect for two main functions.

A. Indefinite Past.

Look at these two sentences. What is the difference?

I went to Paris in 1997.


I have been to Paris two times.

In the first sentence, we use past simple because we are talking about a specified time in the past, 1997.

In the second sentence, though, we are just saying "at some time in my life" without being specific as to
exactly when we have been to Paris - so we use the present perfect.

The present perfect used in this way means "at some time in the past".

Examples:

I have lost my watch. - but we don't say when.


She has seen that film before. - again, we don't say when.
President Bush has told his advisors to work on tax cuts. - was is yesterday, last Wednesday? We don't know -
we just know he has done it.

Now look at the same examples with more specific time expressions. Note how we have to use the past
simple in these sentences.

I lost my watch last Wednesday at the swimming pool.


She saw that film with Terry before Christmas.
President Bush had a meeting with his cabinet yesterday late in the evening and told them he was interested in
working towards tax cuts.
Yes, I have. But I´m not
good at playing it!

Have you ever played a


guitar?

3. ETAPA TRASFERENCIA: VALORACIÓN: Reading Comprehension

Wild weather
British people are famous for always talking about the weather, but there’s a good reason why we do.
The British Isles are located in a place where two huge weather systems meet and, it often seems, do
battle. Even so, strange things have been happening in recent years, as they have been in many other
places around the world. There can’t be many people that haven’t been affected by weather that was
hotter, wetter, drier or wilder than the weather they are used to. This article, based on an article by
Peter Miller from the September 2013 issue of National Geographic Magazine, looks at what is
happening to our weather.

What is happening to our weather?


One weekend in May 2010, Nashville in the USA was expecting a few
centimetres of rain. Two days later, 33 centimetres had fallen and
eleven people had died in the resulting floods.
There’s been a change in the weather. Extreme events like the
Nashville flood – described by officials as a once-in-a-millennium
occurrence – are more frequent than before. Also in 2010, 28
centimetres of rain fell on Rio de Janeiro in 24 hours, causing mud
slides that buried hundreds of people. And record rains in Pakistan led
to flooding that affected more than 20 million people. The following
year, floods in Thailand left factories near Bangkok under water,
creating a worldwide shortage of computer hard drives. Meanwhile,
severe droughts have affected Australia, Russia and East Africa. Deadly heat waves have hit Europe, leaving
35,000 people dead in 2003. Financial losses from such events jumped 25 percent to an estimated $150 billion
worldwide in 2011.
What’s going on? Are these extreme events signals of a dangerous, human-made change in the Earth’s climate?
Or are we just going through a natural run of bad luck? The short answer is: probably both. On the one hand, the
most important influences on weather events are natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather
cycles, El Niño and La Niña, originate in the Pacific Ocean and can affect weather patterns worldwide. But
something else is happening too: the Earth is steadily getting warmer, with significantly more moisture in the
atmosphere. The long-term accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is trapping heat and warming
up the land, oceans and atmosphere. As the oceans warm up, they produce more water vapour and this, in turn,
feeds big storms, such as hurricanes and typhoons.
And yet, there are ways of dealing with the effects of such extreme events. After 2003, French cities set up air-
conditioned shelters for use in heat waves. In the 2006 heat wave, the death rate was two-thirds lower.
‘We know that warming of the Earth’s surface is putting more moisture into the atmosphere. We’ve measured it.
The satellites see it,’ says climatologist Jay Gulledge. Another scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, agrees. We need
to face up to that reality, he says, and do the things we know can save lives and money.
