Homework for Thursday, Feb. 21


Work on your YouTube speaking test video. 
The link will be good until you are finished Friday's test.


GRAMMAR
8-2 Present Perfect Continuous - Explaining the Present  smrt
Do #1: 4-10;   #2: 3-12;   #3: 3-10.


Both of these internet sites are good grammar and reading practice:
Practice PPS and PPC (This is mostly Unit 8, but there is some Unit 7 grammar.)
Practice PPS, PPC and Past Simple (This uses grammar from Units 7 and 8.)


Extra Homework:
The following links give very good examples of when and how to use Perfect tenses. They are PDF pages, so you will not be able to type on them:
Present Perfect Simple or Present Perfect Continuous
Past Simple or Present Perfect  The most relevant (about Unit 8) parts are #3, #4, and #5.

The answers to these exercises will be posted tomorrow.
