Task 5 – Consider the following student errors. After each error, state:
i) What the mistake is.
ii) Why you think it has been made.
iii) How you would go about correcting it.
a) I am a secretary for five years.
• The mistake is, the person is likely to continue being a secretary but her sentence implies that she no longer is a secretary.
• The person is confused because the action started in the past and continues till date.
• The teacher should ask the student if she is still a secretary, if yes then by drawing a time line the teacher can clarify the difference between present simple and present continuous.
d) I have seen him yesterday.
A.) The clause is presented incorrectly because it was something that happened in the past.
B.) It should say: I saw him yesterday. The mistake is probably the confusion, in implying that he may see the person again.
C.) We should explain via games or samples sentences to show the proper use of sentence making.
c) She’s liked him since six months.
i) It’s an incorrect sentence formation. It implies the action is likely to continue.
ii) It should say; <she has liked him for six months>
iii) The SS needs to clarify the tenses .Teaching grammatical forms should make it easier for them to understand. Specifying the usage for and since in present perfect.
d) When have you bought your car?
• It’s asked in an incorrect form, since he is still using the car.
• It should be. When did you buy the car?
• Let SS make pairs and question one another .e.g. did you buy the car...yes, I bought the car.
e) I’ve been knowing her for three months.
i) it’s an incorrect statement.
ii) It should be: I‘ve known her for three months.
iii) You can get SS to change a story, into a different tense to get them, used to differences in each tense: a paragraph with present-perfect can be changed present simple.

a) Present simple

>information gaps…Whereby SS ask each other about their habitual action
e) Present continuous
.
• Telling stories: narrate stories combining the tenses that can be based on visual prompts.
• Action in progress: miming is an excellent way to demonstrate actions; SS could guess what the action is.
c) Present perfect:
> Role play: job interview. E.g. have SS interview one another.
> Change the room: have 3 SS leave the room, while the others change it in 5 different ways. (E.g. move the table, dust bin…) The absent SS returns and figures out what has been done.
