下面一組練習是說凱特到修車廠買汽油, 順便請人換機油的事情. 老師用慢速 度提出一些現在完成式問句, 請學生作肯定的答覆, 請你在學生回答的時候也 跟著回答.

F: Yes, it has needed an oil change for a long time.
M: Has Kate waited in the garage?

三.I've 和 She's
以前我們練習過把 have not 簡縮為 haven't, 把 has not 簡縮為 hasn't. 下面我 們來練習怎么樣把代名詞跟 have 或是 has 連起來說. 比方 I have 說成 I've, they have 說成 they've, she has 說成 she's 等等. 現在我們來作兩組練習, 內 容都是亨利和凱特吃過晚飯之后話家常.
第一組練習是亨利問凱特是否已經作了某些事情, 凱特用 I've 作肯定的答覆.
請你注意聽亨利問問題, 并且跟凱特一起回答問題.
M: Have you taken the car to the garage yet?
F: Yes, I've taken it to the garage.
M: Have you been to the new supermarket yet?
F: Yes, I've been there.
M: Have you given Peter his weekly allowance?
F: Yes, I've given him his weekly allowance.
M: Have you sent the package to Jenny yet?
F: Yes, I've sent it to Jenny.
M: Have you heard about Linda's new boyfriend?
F: Yes, I've heard about him.
下面凱特問亨利一些有關亨利的同事南希的問題, 比方南希是否已經搬到郊 區, 是否已經決定結婚, 是否談起到紐約渡蜜月的事情. 亨利用 she's 作肯定 的答覆. 請你注意聽, 并且跟亨利一起回答.
F: Has Nancy moved to the suburb yet?
M: Yes, she's moved to the suburb.
F: Has Nancy bought a car yet?
M: Yes, she's bought a car.
F: Has Nancy gotten used to driving to work?
M: Yes, she's gotten used to it.
F: Has Nancy decided to get married?
M: Yes, she's decided to get married.
F: Has she told you about going to New York for her honeymoon?
M: Yes, she's told me about it.
F: Has Nancy planned to come over for dinner next Saturday?
M: Yes, she's planned to come over.
四.SINCE 和 FOR
剛才我們復習了現在完成式,同時也學了一些新詞,現在我們要學習兩個連詞, 也就是 since 跟 for 的用法. 這個兩個字常常跟現在完成式句子一起用. since 表示 "自從一個特定的時間開始", for 表示 "時間持續了多久".
現在我們來聽英文老師念一些句子, 比較這兩個連詞的用法.
M: Henry and Kate have been married since 1962.
F: They have been married for a long time.
M: Henry and Kate have lived in Seattle since 1965.
F: They have lived in Seattle for a long time.
M: Henry has worked as a fireman since 1970.
F: He has worked as a fireman for many years.
下面這組練習是由老師問你一個問題, 然后, 他提出一個特定的時間請你用 since 跟這個特定的時間回答問題. 這些問題都是跟亨利作救火員有關系的.
每作完一句就請你聽正確答案.
M: Has Henry wanted to be a fireman?
M: He was a child.
F: Henry has wanted to be a fireman since he was a child.
M: Has Henry worked as a fireman for a long time?
M: 1970
F: Henry has worked as a fireman since 1970.
M: Has Henry ever worked for the city government?
M: He got married.
F: Henry has worked for the city government since he got married.
M: Has Henry been very busy with his job?
M: last month
F: Henry has been very busy with his job since last month.
