HOMEWORK
1. INVESTIGATE ON THE USE OF THE PREPOSITIONS FOR AND SINCE, ITS

MEANING, ITS FUNCTION AND PERFORM 5 CONTEXTUALIZED EXAMPLES.
FOR significa "desde hace" o "durante" .

We use for and since to say how long something has been happening.
We use for + a period of time (two hours, six weeks, etc.)
When we measure the duration of something or how long it last.
It has a start point and an end point and can be used in different tenses.

• I haven’t seen Alex for three days.
• My brother has been a student for eight years.
• We have taught at this school for a long time.
• Dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 millon years.

SINCE significa "desde" o "desde que" y se usa para señalar un

momento concreto en el tiempo.
We use since to talk about a point in the past, a specific point in time, the start of a period
(8:00, Monday, 1985, etc.)
When something started in the past and continues until now.
Since is mostly used in the present perfect and perfect continuous.

2. INVESTIGATE ITS MEANING, ITS FUNCTION WITHIN THE PRESENT PERFECT ON

THE USE OF THE ADVERT JUST, ALREADY, YET, AND PERFORM 5
CONTEXTUALIZED EXAMPLES.
“Already” se refiere a algo que ha pasado antes o más pronto de lo que se esperaba y es
traducido como “ya” en español.
-It is used between have / has and the verb participle:
Example: I'm only 15 years old, but I've already visited more than
10 countries in my life.
 My parents have already found a safer place for my younger brother to play.
 My father has already written some poems for my mom.
 Have you already read today's newspaper?
 Have you already called the doctor?
 I think my mom already knows about her surprise party.
“Just” se utiliza para acciones que han ocurrido hace poco tiempo y se traduce como
“acabar de” o “justo”.
-just + infinitive ”, in English the present perfect tense is used with just
(between have / has and the verb participle):
Example: Paul has just left. (Paul acaba de irse).
 I have
just
finished this math exercise.

 My aunt just made a cake, would you like some?
 Are Diane and Paul here? Yes, they've just arrived.
 Where have the students just gotten this?
 We've just baked this cake.
“Yet” es usado para algo que esperábamos que sucediera, pero

todavía no ha pasado. Tendemos a usarlo en frases negativas e

interrogativas. En frases negativas puede ser traducido como "sin embargo”,

“aún"’ o “todavía” y en preguntas como “ya”. En contraste con los otros adverbios
de esta lección, “yet” va al final de la frase.
Example: - I haven’t read this book yet

(Todavía no he leído este libro)
 you haven't bought a computer yet.

 i haven't seen my friends yet.
 the quarantine hasn't over yet.
 My dad hasn't found a new job yet.
