5. Present Perfect vs. Past Simple - Roleplays
Completion requirements
Oral practice: Work in groups of 3.
Choose several (2-3) topics and complete the sentence with a verb in the right form (pres. perf. or past simple) from the worksheet. Check your answer on p. 2 of the pdf.
Then chair a meeting on these topics.
Your meeting should follow this plan:
1) greetings and small talk
2) dicuss the topic
3) finish the conversation by summarizing the agreement, chatting at the end, etc.
Be careful to use the right grammar to talk about the part in the gap of the topic, but don’t write anything in the gaps yet, just mention them orally when it is time to get down to business and introduce the topic.
