I've <strong>never</strong> been to China.</em><br /><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br /><strong><em>Be careful!</em></strong> We often use present perfect simple with the superlative and with ordinal numbers (first, second, third, etc).<br /><br />e.g. <em>It's <strong>the best</strong> film I<strong>'ve</strong> ever <strong>seen. </strong>It's <strong>the best</strong> time I<strong>'ve been</strong> to South America.</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>Carl <strong>has been to </strong>Mexico. =</em> Carl is not in Mexico now.<br /><em>Carl <strong>has gone to</strong> mexico. = </em>Carl is in Mexico or on his way to Mexico now.<br /><br />We use <strong>present perfect continuos</strong> for:<br /><br /><strong>- </strong>Actions and situations that started in the past and still continue al the moment of speaking.<br /><br />e.g. <em>She <strong>has been working</strong> as a journalist for three years.</em><br /><br /><strong>- </strong>Temporary actions and situations in the recent past.<br /><br />e.g. <em>I<strong>'ve</strong> just <strong>been reading</strong>an interesting article about celebrities.</em><br /><em></em><br /><strong><em>Present perfect continuous (positive):</em></strong><br />I/You/We/They + <em>have + been + -ing </em>form<br />He/She <em>+ has + been + -ing</em> gorm<br /><br /><strong>Present perfect continuous (negative):</strong><br />I/You/We/They<em> + haven't/have not + been + -ing</em> form<br />He/She <em>+ hasn't/has not + been + -ing </em>form<br /><br /><strong>Present perfect continuous (question form):</strong><br /><em>Have + </em>I/you/we/they<em> + been + -ing </em>form...?<br /><em>Has </em>+ he/she + <em>been + -ing</em> form...?<br /><br /><strong>Time expressions often used with present perfect continuous</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>for</strong> (+period of time) e.g. <em>I have been living in Belgium <strong>for</strong> three years.</em><br /><strong>since</strong> (+ time when it started) e.g. <em>I have been living in belgium <strong>since</strong> 2003.</em><br /><strong>just</strong> e.g. <em>he has <strong>just </strong>been playing football.</em><br /><strong>recently/lately </strong>e.g. <em>I've been seeing a lot of Karen <strong>recently.</strong></em><br /><strong>all day, all morning, </strong>etc e.g. <em>I've been doing my homework <strong>all evening</strong>.

Sometimes there is very little difference in meaning. It is often just a matter of formality. Will is generally more formal than be going to.<br /><br />We can use either will or be going to for:<br /><ul><li>Facts about the future.</li></ul><p> There will be an eclipse of the sun tomorrow. (formal)</p><p> There´s going to be an eclipse tomorrow. (informal)</p><ul><li>Predictions (opinios about the future) not based on present evidence.</li></ul><p> One day people will have holidays on Mars. (formal)</p><p> One day people are going to have holidays on Mars. (informal)</p><ul><li>Decisions made at the moment of speaking.</li></ul><p> I know! I´ll get Dad a DVD for Christmas.</p><p> I know! I´m going to get Dad a DVD for Christmas.</p><p><span style="color:#cc0000;">NOTE: Will emphasises the decision, whereas be going to emphasises the intention. The meaning, however, is basically the same in both sentences.</span></p><p>We can use will for:</p><ul><li>most first conditional sentences.</li><li>offers, suggestions and request.</li></ul><p><span style="color:#ff6600;">BE CAREFUL!</span></p><p><span style="color:#ff6600;">With offers and suggestions in the questions form, we do not use <em>will</em> with <em>I</em> and <em>we</em>. We use <em>shall</em>:</span></p><p><span style="color:#ff6600;">Example: Will I help you with the washing-up? (mistake).</span></p><p><span style="color:#ff6600;"> Shall I help you with the washing-up?</span></p><p>We can use Be going to for:</p><ul><li>Plans and intentions (which you already have when you speak)</li><li>Predictions based on present evidence.</li></ul><p>Brian Rueda Pichilingue.</p>Rocio:Lucero:Angela:Melisa:Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15538506456837347530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691590855341908288.post-8809984854679886402008-06-17T23:00:00.000-05:002008-07-01T22:33:28.114-05:00<div align="right"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk02jDjWGFpsF4PIu4oKnaDmKnNvRT1KN0KqPMkr58lp51vjiRKewC2gwwEF9outU82MqSftPKUIpoPh4RLPP7SeOwdR6UZUIgQ_Vn3DzGVwXFH3Mmw_9mPv8Q0FRTw-NKRUQLuwpTMRQ/s1600-h/inspiration_1.GIF"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218252315738351250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 347px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 186px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="239" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk02jDjWGFpsF4PIu4oKnaDmKnNvRT1KN0KqPMkr58lp51vjiRKewC2gwwEF9outU82MqSftPKUIpoPh4RLPP7SeOwdR6UZUIgQ_Vn3DzGVwXFH3Mmw_9mPv8Q0FRTw-NKRUQLuwpTMRQ/s320/inspiration_1.GIF" width="398" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#663366;"><strong>Melisa Reyes I.<br /></strong></span></div>Rocio:Lucero:Angela:Melisa:Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15538506456837347530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691590855341908288.post-16220547186699949452008-06-17T22:55:00.006-05:002008-07-01T22:32:30.576-05:00SILABUS<ol><br /><li><div align="left"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"><strong>Will and be going to.</strong></span></div></li><p align="left"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><br /></span></p><li><div align="left"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"><strong>Present Perfect - (simple and continuous).</strong></span></div></li><p align="left"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><br /></span></p><li><div align="left"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"><strong>Modals I - (ability, obligation, advice, permission).</strong></span></div></li><p align="left"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><br /></span></p><li><div align="left"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"><strong>Modal Perfect.</strong></span></div></li></ol><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu1N51zG1z8s2qNNh7E74a-yZNf-v6e8WT9a82JKTdkMJdRWMwGRYkv6HTaAofOf8xsRnmTFQZW7UoNungUfBJ2cni9H5Pq2L2bFfpMc17JEFZUHaSL-uR9STL1AxGADMLDrmtbXPe2w0/s1600-h/Leon-Dibujos.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213067916220938706" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu1N51zG1z8s2qNNh7E74a-yZNf-v6e8WT9a82JKTdkMJdRWMwGRYkv6HTaAofOf8xsRnmTFQZW7UoNungUfBJ2cni9H5Pq2L2bFfpMc17JEFZUHaSL-uR9STL1AxGADMLDrmtbXPe2w0/s320/Leon-Dibujos.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:#000066;"></span></p><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p align="right"> </p><p align="right"> </p><p align="right"> </p><p align="right"> </p><p align="right"> </p><p align="right"> </p><p align="right"> </p><p align="right"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#993399;"><strong>Brian Rueda Pichilingue.</strong></span></p>Rocio:Lucero:Angela:Melisa:Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15538506456837347530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691590855341908288.post-12533556338557906152008-04-23T10:42:00.002-05:002008-04-23T10:57:12.218-05:00conversation<span style="color:#333333;">asking about families:</span><br /><span style="color:#333333;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33cc00;"><span style="color:#999900;">rita:</span> tell me about your brother and sister, Sue.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33cc00;"><span style="color:#999900;">Sue:</span> well, my sister is a lawyer.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33cc00;"><span style="color:#999900;">Rita:</span> really?
