Week 7

  • From the book we read “DEATH DO US PART” by Robert Silverberg, on unit 5. it is a story related to longevity.
  • We discussed our points of view about the topic of living hundreds of years.
  • Also from the book we made a comparison between the main character views and the ones from our time, like marriage, family structure/relationships, careers, longevity.
  • We reviewed the contrast between simple past, present perfect and Present Perfect continuous and made the practice related with the text.
vSimple past: things that happened  in the past and were completed. Using expressions like last, ago, in, on, at, yesterday, when…
vPresent perfect: actions completed at an indefinite time in the past. Use it for repeated actions, completed in the past but may happen again in the future. With expressions like for or since.
vPresent perfect continuous: actions that began in the past but were not completed, and have continued up to the present and may continue towards the future. Use for and since optional, giving additional information about the action
