→我們用一般過去時談?wù)撨^去發(fā)生的動作,但當(dāng)過去發(fā)生的動作和現(xiàn)在有聯(lián)系有影響時,我們用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài).(Refer to P13)→Structure: have/has +V (過分)
Step 3. How we form the past participles of verbs P13 (Add the simple past forms)
Add: have---had---had hear---heard---heard buy---bought---bought
go---went---gone do---did----done eat---ate---eaten
forget---forgot---forgotten cut---cut---cut read---read---read
Step 4.Explain the use of the present perfect tense.

1. 到現(xiàn)在為止這段時間已發(fā)生的情況.動作從過去延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在.
eg. She has been ill for three days. (She’s been…)
We have learned 2,000 English words. (We’ve …)

e.g. Simon has lost his watch./ Simon lost his watch.
Have you bought a pen? / When did you buy the pen?
What did you have for lunch? / Have you had lunch?etc
注:句中有表示過去的時間狀語如yesterday, last week,…ago etc,不能用現(xiàn)在完成時.

Step 9. Time expressions with the present perfect tense. P16. B
Tell students that present perfect tense must have a specific time when it is used. These time expressions include already, ever, for…, just, never, since…, yet, recently. Explain in Chinese ‘a(chǎn)lready, just, never通常用于have 或has后；而yet 和recently通常放句末。不過，有時already也能放句末。’
