Grammar 1
Present Perfect Simple and
Continuous
Perfect proverbs
Target language: Present Perfect Simple and Continuous
Activity type: matching
When to use: Use this activity after Lesson 2.1.
Time taken: 20 minutes
Preparation: Photocopy one worksheet for each pair of students in the class.
Procedure
Put students into pairs. Give each pair a copy of the worksheet. Explain bark, hatch, broth,
molehill and mend or make sure that students have access to a dictionary. Students take it
in turns to choose one of the sentences in the left-hand column, and complete it using the
verb in brackets. They must decide whether to use a Present Perfect Simple or Continuous
form to complete the gap in the sentence. They then match the sentence with an
appropriate response in the right-hand column. These responses all include a well-known
English proverb. Set a time limit of about 10–15 minutes for this. The winner is the student
in each pair who made the most correct matches.
