Unit 8 · Quote
""'For six years' and 'since 2019' are the same amount of time — but they feel like two different sentences.""
Lesson goals
By the end you will…
- Use present perfect with 'for' (duration) and 'since' (starting point) for unfinished situations.
- Use 'just', 'already', 'yet' and 'still' to talk about recent past and expectations.
- Contrast unfinished time (this week, today, so far this year) with finished time (last week, yesterday, in 2019).
- Write a 100–120 word update to a friend about your life in the last six months, using all four adverbs at least once.
