Objectives & Sequence: This lesson is intended to be used as a review of Grammar - Present Perfect: How Long?.
Students work with a partner. Each partner opens the corresponding page.
Students are presented with questions that ask the duration of unfinished situations or actions. Students ask and answer the questions and ensure that their partner's answers follow the correct structure (as provided under each question).
When students have successfully answered a question, they should then ask their partner the same question so as to practice question form.
