●To review Present simple, present continuous, present perfect and future reference; for and since with present perfect Procedures

▇ Reviewing Present simple, present continuous, present perfect【British,and,American,English单元主题教学案】

■ Using the Present Perfect Tense: FOR or SINCE?

We use Present Perfect tense to talk about action which started in the past and continues up to the present. Examples

I have had this computer for about a year. How long have you been at this school? I haven't seen Julia since September.

Tip! For other uses of the Present Perfect tense, see the Present Perfect Tense - When To Use.

We use for with a period of time, for example: a few days, half an hour, two years. We use since with the time when the action started, for example: last year, June 8, I met you.

Each of these present perfect sentences contains a time expression. Each time expression is a length of time (which requires FOR) or a starting time (which requires SINCE). 1 Maya has been a professional ________ 1989. 2 So far, it has rained ________ five hours.

3 I haven't been snowboarding ________ last winter. 4 Jo has been a student here ________ March.
