We can see that this particular usage of the unfinished past can be used for both the present perfect and the present perfect continuous. Where we've got action verbs, we usually prefer to use the present perfect continuous. However, there are state verbs which don't usually go into the continuous form, such as 'know'. We would say 'I have known her for 10 years,' not 'I have been knowing her for 10 years.' So when we have these state verbs, such as 'know', 'be', 'seem' and 'appear', we would usually put these in the present perfect but with the action verbs, such as 'play', 'cook', 'work', we will use these in the present perfect continuous. Normally, we also use the present perfect continuous fairly frequently with words, such as just or recently to express a recently completed action with the present results, for example 'I am tired because I have been playing football.'
Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.
This section explores four basic skills required for students. Receptive skills; reading and listening and productive skills; speaking and writing. For teachers, it is important to understand how to integrate these skills into each and every lesson. There are a variety of different tactics which can be used to help ensure students are engaged in each lesson and using both their receptive and productive skills. This chapter outlines some of these methods.I previously had a thorough knowledge of English grammar usage, however I did not know the terminology for the different parts of speech. This unit provided a good reference of the parts of speech, and I took notes over the entire section for future reference when teaching grammar. I think that one of the biggest challenges teaching will be explaining certain parts of speech that we have in English that do not exist in the native language of my students.
