“Have you ever ’ Game 
This is game for student to practise making “Have you ever ...” questions , and responding to them . To prepare for it , at home T cuts out and shuffles the given “Tell th Truth ” or “Tell a lie” cards .
 - T first divides the class into groups of 3-4 . Then T places the cards in one pile at the centre of the table .
- T models “Have you ever ” + past participle for Ss as well as ways to respond to “Have you ever ” questions.
E . g 
Have you ever sung in public ?
Yes , I have or No , I haven’t .
If the answer is “Yes ” , no might ask a follow-up questions , using the past simple , e.g . When was it ? Where did you sing ? etc .
- Now T introduces the game : Within their group the first student starts and asks anyone else in his / her groudp a “Have you ever questions .” . The student who is asked the questions should draw a card from the pile of “Tell a Lie ” card and answer according to the card . The rest of the student are allowed to ask 3 more follow- up questions to try and determine if the person answering is telling the truth or lying . After 3 questions are up , the student answering will show his / her card for the group to see if it’s a “Tell the truth ” or “tell a lie ” card . The groud continues to play until everyone is asked .

TASK 1
T introduces the task and gets Ss to do it individually , then copare the answers with a peer .
- T calls on a student to read out his / her answers .
- T checks with the class and gives corrective feedback .
- T intriduces or elicits the structures “Make some body do something ” or “ Make somebody + Adjective ”. 
- T writes the structures on the board and elicits their meaning and uses 
- T gets Ss to make ... t an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually doesn’t do.
E.g: The train leaves every morning at 8 a.m
 The train doesn’t leave at 9 a.m
 When does the train usually leave ?
 * Speakers sometimes use the Simple present to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening now. This can only be done with Non-Continuous Verbs and certain Mixed Verbs.
E.g: He needs you right now.
 Do you have your passport with you ?
Present continuous
 + Form: am/is/are + V-ing 
 + Meaning: Present time
 + Use:
 * Use the Present Continuous with Normal Verbs tp express the idea that something is happening now, at this time. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now.
E.g: Are you sleeping ?
Present perfect
 + Form: have/has + Past Participle
 + Meaning: Present
 + Use:
 * We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. So we can use the Present Perfect to describe our experience. It is like saying, “I have the experience of ...” We can also use this tense to say that we have never had a certain experience. The Present Perfect is NOT used to describe a specific event.
E.g: I have seen that movie 20 times.
 I think I have met him once before.
 * With Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs we use the Present Perfect to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. “For 5 minutes” , “For 2 weeks” , and “since Tuesday” are all durations which can be used with the Present Perfect.
E.g: I have had a cold for 2 weeks.
 Mary has loved chocolate since she was a little girl .
Note: * You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
- T emphasises that we can use all these present tenses in telling stories (which are often concerned with past events) to make the stories more interesting.
- If T sees that Ss have already mastered the forms, meanings, and uses of these verb tenses, T can skip the presentation stage to save time, and go straight to the practice stage.
b) Practice
- T gets Ss to do Exercise 1 individually and then find a partner to check their answers with.
- T checks with the whole class and provides corrective feedback.
Answer: 1. invites 2. sets 3. gets 4. waves 5. promises 6. carries 7. contains 8. has baked 9. is 10. is shining 11. are singing 12. is

Exercise 2
a) Presentation
- If necessary, T reviews the forms, meanings, and uses of the past simple and past continuous.
Past simple
 + Form: V + ed or irregular verbs
 + Meaning: Past time
 + Use:
* Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have one specific time in mind.
E.g: I saw a horror film last night
 He didn’t wash his car.
 * We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actons happen to the following order: 1 st, 2nd, 3rd 4th, and so on .
E.g: He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00 , and met the others at 10:00 .
9. The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. Duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as : for two years , for five minutes, all day, all year, etc .
E.g: I live in Brazil for years 
10. The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can have the same meaning as “used to ”. To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often add expressions such as: always , often, usually, never, when I was a chid, when I was youger etc.
E.g : They never went to school . They always skipped their classes 
11 . The Simple Past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no longer true . As in USE 4 above , this use of the Simple Past is quite similar to the expression “used to ” 
E .g : She was shy as a child , but now she is very outgoing 
Past continuous :
+ Form : Was / were + V-ing 
+ Meaning : Past time 
+ Use :
* Use the past Continuous to indicate that a longer actoin in the past was interrupted . The interrupted is a shorter action in the Simple Past or a specific time . Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time .
E. g : I was watching TV when she called .
Last at 6 PM , I was eating dinner 
* When you usethe Past Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions were happening in the same time. The actions are parallel.
E.g: I was studying while he was making dinner.
* In English, we often use a series of parallel actions to describe the atmosphere at a particular time in the past.
E.g: When I walked into the office, several people were busily typing, some were talking on the phones, the boss was yelling directions, and customers were waiting to be helped. One customer was yelling at a secretary and waving his hands. Others were complaining to each other about the bad service.
- If T sees that Ss have already mastered the forms, meanings, and uses of these verb tenses, T can skip the presentation stage to save time, and go straight to the practice stage.
b) Practice
- T gets Ss to do Exercise 2 individually and then find a partner to check their answers with.
- T checks the answers with the whole class and provides corrective feedback.
Answer:
1. broke/ was playing 2. wrote/was 3. was working/broke
4. started/were walking 5. told/were having 6. didn’t listen/was thinking
7. phoned/didn’t answer 8. didn’t wear/didn’t notice/was driving

Exercise 3
a) Presentation
- If necessary, T reviews the form, meaning and use of the past perfect and compares it with other past tenses
+ Form: Had + Past Participle
+ Meaning: Past time
+ Use:
 * The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action expressed in the Past Simple. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.
E.g: I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Hanoi.
 * With Non-Continuous Verbs and some non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Past Perfect to show that something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past.
E.g: We had had that car for 10 years before it broke down.
- If T sees that Ss have already mastered the form, meaning, and uses of this verb tense, T can skip the presentation stage to save time, and go straight to the practice stage.
b) Practice
- T gets Ss to do Exercise 3 individually and then find a partner to check their answers with.
- T checks the answers with the whole class and provides corrective feedback.
Answer: 
1. had eaten/arrived 2. found/had taken 3. got/ had closed 4. got/had left
5. got/had arrived 6. paid/had phoned 7. went/said/hadn’t arrived 8. had looked/asked/cost

Communicative practice for all 6 verb tenses covered in the lesson (production stage)
- T divides the class into small groups of 4. Then T introduces the task “A Celebrity interview”: “Now you are going to work in groups of 4. Two of you will act as a celebrity and his/her manager. The other 2 will act as reporters for a local paper. Discuss among yourself which celebrity you would like to act and interview.

- T distributes the worksheets to Ss. Then T guides how to interview questions ans answer them and reminds Ss to use the correct verb tenses.
- T gets Ss to work in groups, then goes around and offers help.
- After checking that Ss have finished, T calls on a group to perform their interview again in front of the class and elicits feedback from the class.
