UNIT 1
• Present Perfect (Affirmative, Negative and Interrogative form)
Before we start the lesson, let’s answer the following questions and share your answers with your
teacher and classmates:
Whatever answer came to your mind, the structure you used is a clearly example of Present Perfect.
Now, have you ever wondered what the Present Perfect tense is for? The British Council mentions in
a general way, that the present perfect is a mix of the present and the past. Basically, we use it for
actions in the past that have significance in the present.
2
Let’s talk about one of the most important things in this tense: the grammatical rules.
To form it, we use the auxiliary verb “to have” in the present simple tense, as well as the past participle
of the principal verb. For regular verbs, the past participle of the verb is the regular past simple form
(verb (+) “ed”). Pay attention to the following two charts taken from the English Grammar Blog to
understand better:
I, you, we, they HAVE I’ve, you’ve, we’ve, they’ve talked, learned, traveled…
Note: Keep in mind that there are many irregular past participles in English, so ask
your teacher for a list of irregular verbs.
Below is a short list of some of the most common ones past participles.
be was/were been
do did done
go went gone
make made made
see saw seen
3
It’s time to talk about its structure. The Past Perfect has three structures; affirmative, negative and
interrogative.
Affirmative
sentences
Subject + auxiliary verb (have/has) + past
participle…
Negative
sentences Subject ☺ + auxiliary verb (have/has) + not +
past participle…
4
Interrogative
sentences Auxiliary verb (have/has) + subject ☺ + past
participle… + ?
Finally, to conclude this lesson we’re going to talk about its usages.
According to the English Grammar Blog, the present perfect is used for actions or events that occurred
at an unspecific time before the present. The specific time is not important and therefore we generally
do not use a specific time expressions (“this morning, yesterday, last year”…) with the present perfect.
On the other hand, we can use non-specific time expressions with the present perfect (“never, ever,
many times, for, since, already, yet”). This concept of non-specific time is quite difficult to understand
as so below you will find further explanation of the particular uses of the present perfect.
In the following chart you can understand better the usages of this tense:
Usages Examples
The present perfect is used to describe an - He has never flown in a plane (Él nunca
experience. It is not used for specific actions. ha volado en un avión).
- I have been to London (Yo he ido a
Londres).
We use the present perfect to express change - His French has improved a lot this year.
over time. (Su francés ha mejorado mucho este año).
- I have learned to be more patient. (He
aprendido a ser más paciente).
5
The present perfect is used for accomplishments. - Their soccer all team has won the
championship two times. (Su equipo de
fútbol ha ganado el campeonato dos
veces).
- Annie has finished writing her first book.
(Annie ha terminado de escribir su primer
libro).
We have a present perfect for actions or events - Haven’t you finished to clean yet?(¿No
that have not yet happened. The use of the has acabado de limpiar aún?)
present perfect in these cases indicates that we - The bus hasn’t arrived yet.(El autobús no
are still expecting the event or action to occur. ha llegado todavía).
Therefore, we frequently use the adverbs “yet”
and “still” with the present perfect.
The present perfect is used to discuss actions or - I love Canada! I have been there 3 times
events that occurred at various times in the past. already and I can’t wait to go back. (¡Me
The use of the present perfect in these cases encanta Canadá! Ya he estado allí 3
indicates that further actions or events are veces y no puedo esperar para regresar).
possible in the future. - I have spoken several times with him, but
we still can’t reach an agreement.(He
hablado con él varias veces, pero todavía
no podemos llegar a un acuerdo).

UNIT 1
• Present Perfect Vs. Past Simple
Have you ever wondered if there’s a similarity between the Present perfect and the Past simple???
Today, you are going to learn the usages and some Time Expressions of them.
Remember!!! English Grammar Blog mentions that we use the past simple for actions
or events that ended in the past, including the recent past. Moreover, the present perfect
is used for actions or events that are related to the present.
Structure
Use
Time phrases
▪ Yesterday ▪ Already
▪ Ago ▪ Just
▪ Last ▪ Ever
11
▪ In 1988, etc… ▪ Never
▪ In the 18th century, etc ▪ For
▪ In February, etc… ▪ Since, etc…
▪ On Monday, etc…
More examples:
Past simple:
• Did he eat breakfast this morning? (La mañana ya ha terminado).
• I had four exams this week. (Como en el ejemplo anterior, el uso del pasado simple significa
que esta semana acaba de terminar).
Present Perfect:
• Has he eaten breakfast this morning? (La mañana aún no ha terminado).
• I have had four exams already this week. (Como antes, el uso del presente perfecto implica que
esta semana aún no ha terminado).
Remember!!! We also use the present perfect for actions or events at an unspecified time in the past.
If we want to limit the time of the actions or events to a period of time, we use expressions of time such
as “last year”.
Note: Take note of the difference between the two first examples. The time expression
“last year” is used in both, but in the second example, we have added the preposition
“in”. In this example, with the use of “in”, we are identifying a period of time in which the
action or event occurred, but not a specific time. On the other hand, if we don’t use the
preposition “in”, “last year” indicates a specific time in the past.
12
Past simple:
• They went to Costa Rica last year. (Ellos fueron a Costa Rica el año pasado).
• We saw a movie yesterday. (Nosotros vimos una película ayer).
Present Perfect:
• They have been to Colombia in the last year. (Ellos han estado en Colombia este último año).
• We have seen a movie. (Nosotros hemos visto una película).
✓ We use the "present perfect" whenever the time in which the action takes place is not relevant
or is not specified.
✓ Instead, we use the "simple past" whenever data on the time or place of the action are requested
or specified.
13
Now is time to learn some expression that you can use with the Present Perfect.
Pay attention to their meaning and in what type of sentence you can use them
( ), then practice with a partner each time expression.

UNIT 1
• Adverbs: Already/ Just/ Still/ Yet/ For/ Since/ Ago
In this lesson, we’re going to learn the most common adverbs used in past perfect and past simple.
According to the English Grammar Blog, says that we must often use the adverbs “already”, “just”, “still”
and “yet” with a present perfect, although they may be used with other verb tenses. This adverbs make
reference to time and their location within the sentence depends on which of them we are using. On
the other hand, we use “for”, “since” and “ago” to express a relationship with time. This adverbs can be
used with various verb tenses. “For” and “since” respond to the question: “How long..?”
Already
“Already” refers to something that happened before or sooner than expected and generally is located
between the auxiliary verb and the principal verb.
Examples:
• We have already finished our homework. (Nosotros ya hemos acabado nuestra tarea).
• John has already left work. (John ya se ha ido del trabajo).
• The plain has already arrived. (El avión ya ha llegado).
19
Just
“Just” is used for actions or events that occurred shortly before or not long ago and like already. “Just”
is located either before the principal verb or between the auxiliary verb and the principal verb.
Examples:
• He just ate, but he’s already hungry again. (Él acaba de comer pero ya tiene hambre de nuevo).
• Where’s Jane? She’s just left. (¿Dónde está Jane? Ella acaba de irse).
• Ali has just moved to New York. (Ali acaba de trasladarse a Nueva York).
Still
We use “still” for actions or events that have not happened or have not ended, especially when we
expect the actions or events to have happened sooner. “Still” is frequently used with other verb tenses,
but regardless of the verb tense, this adverb is always found before the principal verb.
Examples:
20
Yet
“Yet” is used for something we expected to have happened but has still not happened. We tend to use
this adverb in negative and interrogative sentences. In contrast to the adverbs discussed here, “yet” is
generally found at the end of the sentence.
Examples:
• He’s really hungry. He hasn’t eaten yet. (Él tiene mucha hambre. Todavía no ha comido).
• Jane hasn’t left her job at the hospital yet. (Jane todavía no se ha ido de su trabajo en el hospital).
• Has the train arrived yet? (¿Ya ha llegado el tren?)
For
“For” indicates duration or a period of time. It cannot be used with all in this sense of all day or all the
time, but it can be used with all of the various verb tenses.
Examples:
• She played tennis for years before she injured her knee.
(Ella jugó al tenis durante años antes de que se lesionara la rodilla).
• We have lived in Paris for five years. (Nosotros hemos vivido en París durante cinco años).
Note: Keep in mind that both “for” and “since” have other meanings not related to time
21
Since
“Since” is used to indicate the beginning of a period of time that continues to the present. As this period
of time, which began at a specific time in the past, continues into the present, we can only use “since”
with the perfect tenses.
Examples:
• They have lived in Germany since April 2015. (Ellos han vivido en Alemania desde abril de 2015)
• My son has been sick since Monday. (Mi hijo ha estado enfermo desde el lunes).
Ago
Ago means a period of time in the past or before the present and is found at the end of the sentence.
It is only used with the past simple.
Examples:
• I finished university two years ago. (Yo terminé la universidad hace dos años).
• He called me five minutes ago. (Él me llamó hace cinco minutos).

UNIT 1
• Modal Perfect
What do you think about the next questions? Let’s compare answers with the class
and your teacher:
As we know, the model verbs express modality, such as possibility and probability. When we use them
with the infinitive form of the present perfect (“have” + past participle), modal verbs indicate a
speculation about things in the past. The uses of each one will be shown below according to the English
Grammar Blog.
30
Uses
Must have
“Must Have” is used to express a logical conclusion about something that occurred in the past. We are
unsure of what exactly happened, but based on the evidence, we can come to some conclusion. As
opposed to “might have” or “may have”, as we will see later, “must have” expressed more certainty.
Examples:
• I never see George and Jane together anymore. They must have
separated.
(Ya nunca veo a George y Jane juntos. Se deben haber separado).
• I know you love Dan. It must have been difficult to say “no” to that date
with him.
(Sé que quieres a Dan. Debe de ser difícil para ti decir “no” a esa cita con él).
• They failed the exam. They must not have been paid attention in class.
(Ellos reprobaron el examen. No debieron haber puesto atención en la clase).
“May have” and “Might have” are used to express possibility in the past. The use of these two modal
perfects also express uncertainty.
Examples:
• I think this relationship may have worked, but we gave up too soon.
(Creo que esta relación podría haber funcionado, pero nos rendimos demasiado pronto).
• The team might have won if their star player hadn’t been injured.
(El equipo podría haber ganado si su jugador estrella no se hubiera lesionado).
• I don’t know, it might have been different if I were there.
(No sé, podría haber sido diferente si yo hubiera estado allí).
31
Can’t have
“Can’t have” is used in a similar manner to “Must have”, but in the negative. We use “can’t have” when
we are fairly certain that something didn’t happen or wasn’t true in the past.
Examples:
• I know you love Dan. It can’t have been easy to say “no” to that date with him.
(Sé que quieres a Dan. No debió haber sido fácil para ti decir “no” a esa cita con él).
• Ron failed the exam. He can’t have been paying attention in class.
(Ron reprobó el examen. No debió haber prestado atención a la clase).
• We had a lot of work to do and little time. We can’t have finished everything.
(Teníamos mucho trabajo que hacer y poco tiempo. No podríamos haber terminado todo).
Could have
“Could have” is also used to express that something was possible in the past, but in fact it didn’t happen.
Examples:
By the way, “Could have” in affirmative, is similar to “Might have” or “May have”, that it expresses
possibility in the past.
Examples:
• I think this relationship could have worked, but we gave up too soon.
(Creo que esta relación podría haber funcionado, pero nos rendimos demasiado pronto).
• The team could have won if their star player hadn’t been injured.
(El equipo podría haber ganado si su jugador estrella no se hubiera lesionado).
32
• I don’t know, it could have been different if I were there.
(No sé, podría haber sido diferente si yo hubiera estado allí).
Example:
• I know you love Dan. It couldn’t have been easy to say “no” to that dame with him.
(Sé que quieres a Dan. No debió haber sido fácil para ti decir “no” a esa cita con él).
• I failed the exam. I couldn’t have been paying attention in class.
(Reprobé el examen. No debí haber prestado atención a la clase).
• We had a lot of work to do and little time. We couldn’t have finished everything.
(Teníamos mucho trabajo que hacer y poco tiempo. No podríamos haber terminado todo).
Finally, “Should have” and “Ought to have” are used when something didn’t happen but it would have
been better if it had. Also in the negative form, these modals indicate that something happened but it
will have been better if it hadn’t.
Example:
• He told me, I should have studied more! (Él me lo dijo, debería haber estudiado más.)
• John ought to have gone to the doctor sooner. Now they say him, he will be a month before he
is fully recovered.
(John debería haber ido al médico antes. Ahora le dicen, que tardará un mes más en
recuperarse por completo).
• You shouldn’t have eaten that last slide of cake.
(No deberías haber comido la última rebanada de pastel).
• I shouldn’t have been angry with you, it wasn’t your fault.
(No debería haberme enfadado contigo, no fue culpa tuya).
Note: “Would have” is used to form the conditional in English. But we are going to
see this in the following units.

UNIT 2
• Past Perfect (Affirmative, Negative And Interrogative).
Let's start this lesson by practicing with some strange situations in which some
people are involved, you must explain what happened and why they found
themselves in this situation.
For example;
''Liam was seen running down the street with a crazy look on his face. What had happened?''
A: “He was running like crazy because he had been challenged by his classmates to declare his
love to the girl he likes or run down the street like that”.
Chris was

mom looked

Anne went to
her room, but
everything
was different
there. What
had
happened?
They were
crying with Billy couldn’t remember his
laughter. name and his head ached.
What had just What had happened?
happened?
47
After practicing, maybe you are asking why and for what I must use this tense!!!
Well, in line with the British Council, we use the past perfect to talk about the past
but not just any situation in the past. It means we use it when we're talking about
two events that happened in the past and when one event happened before the
other event. Also it helps you to order the actions in your story.
Now is time to begin with the lesson. So let’s learn more information about it confirming to the English
Grammar Blog, as its form, structures and uses.
“The past perfect is used for actions or events that happened in the past before another action or event
in the past”. It means that we use it to talk about finished actions that happened before a certain time
in the past.
48
Grammatical Rules
Form
Like the present perfect, the pass perfect is formed using the auxiliary verb “To have” (in the past simple
form) as well as the past possible. Look at the next chart;
Taken from: English Grammar Blog. (n.d). Retrieved April 21st, 2021, from: https://www.curso-ingles.com/aprender/cursos/nivel-avanzado/verb-tenses-
past-perfect/past-perfect
Note: be careful as the contraction “-‘d”. It’s also used with the modal verb “would” to form
the conditional. As such, the short form “I’d” can mean either “I had” or “I would”. These
two contractions are distinguished by the form of the principal verb that follows them. If we
mean “I had”, the principal verb is in the past participle form, whereas with the conditional
“Would”, is followed by the verb in the infinitive.
Structures
Affirmative
sentences
“Subject ☺ + HAD + past participle…”

for long.
Interrogative

1. We use the past perfect to refer to an event that began in the past and before another action or
event in the past. The action or event that happened first is in the past perfect and the one that
follows in the past simple.
2. The past perfect is used for actions or events that happened before a specific time in the past.
- Alina had already woken up when the alarm clock rang at 5 am.
(Alina ya se había despertado cuando sonó el despertador a las 5 am).
- We hadn’t been to Turkey before our honeymoon in 2015.
(No habiamos estado en Turkia antes del nuestra luna de miel en 2015).
3. As with the present perfect, we also use the past perfect simple for situations that began in the
past and continued to a specific point in time in the past.
- Susan had only owned one car before she bought her new Audi.
(Susan solo había tenido un coche antes de que comprara su nuevo Audi).
- Edward had been depressed for a long time before he changed girlfriend.
(Edward había estado deprimido durante mucho tiempo antes de que cambiara de novia).

UNIT 2
• Future Perfect (Affirmative, Negative and Interrogative)
Answer the following questions and share your answers with your class.
As we have seen in the previous lessons on the future tenses review, there are two ways to express
the future in English. In contrast to the future simple or future continuous, in the future perfect simple
the use of the two different forms as generally interchangeable.
67
Let’s start this lesson talking about its structure, so please pay attention and take notes in case you
need it.
Structure
As you already know, we can use two auxiliaries when we talk about future “will” and “going to”.
Affirmative
sentences Subject ☺ + “will have” + past participle + complement /
Subject ☺ + auxiliary verb (to be) + “going to have” + past

Uses
1. We use the future perfect for actions that will have finished before another action in the
future. The future perfect can also be used to express something that will happen before
a specific time in the future.

UNIT 2
• Conditional Sentences (Zero, First, Second & Third Conditional).
Adapted from: from English Grammar in Use, (2012). Retrieved April 24th, 2021, from English Grammar in Use, 4th edition, R. Murphy
As you can notice in the previous situation, the use of the conditional implies that one action in a
sentence depends on the other. In agreement with the English Grammar Blog, the conditionals are
used to speak about both real and imaginary situations and also, are known as “if clauses”.
Keep in mind that there is no conditional verb tense in English as there is in other languages. Instead,
we use the auxiliary verb "would" to form the conditional.
So, let’s start this new lesson talking about The Conditionals.
There are four types of conditional sentences and the use of one type over the other reflects the
probability of the dependent action happening.
74
Conditional types
Zero conditional
If + condition + , + result /
Result + if + condition
Zero conditional is used when the condition and the results are always
true, such as with scientific facts.
The zero conditional uses the present simple in the if-clause and in
the main clause.
Taken from: Woodward English: Zero Conditional (n.d) and Curso-Ingles: Conditionals (n.d). Retrieved April 24th, 2021, from:
https://www.grammar.cl/english/zero-conditional.htm & https://www.curso-ingles.com/aprender/cursos/nivel-avanzado/conditionals/conditional-sentences
Note: we can change the order of the clauses without changing the meaning. Also,
with this type of conditional, we can substitute “when” for “if” without changing the
meaning.
75
First conditional
If + Present Simple + , + Future Simple /
Result + if + condition
We use the first conditional for expressing the future and in cases when
the condition is very likely to occur.
The first conditional uses the present simple in the if-clause and the future
simple in the main clause.
It is for things that will possibly happen in the future if a condition is met. In
a way, we are predicting a likely result in the future if a certain condition
happens.
- If we go to France next month for work, we’ll visit the Eiffel Tower.

https://www.grammar.cl/english/first-conditional.htm & https://www.curso-ingles.com/aprender/cursos/nivel-avanzado/conditionals/conditional-sentences
Note: we can use certain model verbs instead of “will” to change the probability of
the condition or to express an opinion.
76
Second
conditional If + Past Simple + , + ...Would + Verb /
Conditional verb (would + verb) + If + Past
Simple
The second conditional is used to express an unreal possibility in the present,
such as a wish or dream, or for an action in the future that is not very probable.
We use a past verb though are imagining the present or the future to be different.
Taken from: Woodward English: Second Conditional (n.d) and Curso-Ingles: Conditionasl (n.d). Retrieved April 24th, 2021, from:
https://www.grammar.cl/english/second-conditional.htm & https://www.curso-ingles.com/aprender/cursos/nivel-avanzado/conditionals/conditional-
sentences
Note: as with the first conditional, we can use other modal verbs instead of “would”
to change the meaning or possibility of the clause. Also, COULD can be used
instead of WOULD to make the hypothetical present or future more likely.
77
Third
conditional If + Past Perfect + , + would have + past
participle /
Would have + If + past perfect
As opposed to the first and second conditional, the third conditional is
used to speak about a condition in the past that has not occurred.
This tense can be used to say that you regret doing something or when
you are telling someone off (reproaching someone). This type of
conditional can also be used when making excuses.
Taken from: Woodward English: Third Conditional (n.d) and Curso-Ingles: Conditionals (n.d). Retrieved April 24th, 2021, from:
https://www.grammar.cl/english/third-conditional.htm & https://www.curso-ingles.com/aprender/cursos/nivel-avanzado/conditionals/conditional-sentences
Note: as with the first and second conditionals, we can use other modal verbs
instead of “would” to change the meaning or possibility of the clause.
In general:
- Zero conditional refers to facts.
- First conditional and Second conditional refer to the present or future. However second
conditional sentences suggest it is less probable or imaginary.
- Third conditional refers to the past.

UNIT 3
• Passive voice
1. Thomas Alva Edison invented the first electric light bulb in 1879.
Adapted from: English Unlimited (2014). Retrieved April 24th, 2021, from English Unlimited, Tilbury, Clementson,Hendra & Rea
What do you notice? Is there something similar or different? Does the meaning or general idea change?
The first one is an active sentence. It means that the writer is most interested in Thomas Alva Edison.
The sentence could be from an article about Edison’s life.
In the second one, it’s a passive sentence. Here the writer is most interested in the first electric light
bulb. This sentence could be from an article about the history of the light bulb.
Also, you can use by to say who does/ did the action in a passive sentence;
- The first electric light bulb was invented by Thomas Alva Edison in 1879.
But often we don’t use by because we don’t know who did the action, or it’s not important;
- Did you know? John was hired in that important company yesterday.
86
So just have something in mind! When the action of the verb is focused on
the subject, it’s an active voice. But when we want to give more importance
to the action, rather than the subject, we use what is known as the passive
voice.
Examples;
Grammatical rules
The passive is formed using the auxiliary verb “to be” and the past participle of the principal verb.

Uses

UNIT 3
• Direct speech & Reported speech
Kate
If we want to tell somebody what Kate said, there are two ways of doing:
1. We can repeat Kate’s words (direct speech); Kate said “I am feeling tired”.
2. Or we can use reported speech; Kate said that she was feeling tired.
In general, the present form in direct speech changes to the past form in reported speech.
When we want to communicate or report what another person has said, there are two ways of doing
so:
- Direct speech
- Indirect or reported speech.
Adapted from: English Grammar in Use (2012). Retrieved April 25th, 2021, from English Grammar in Use by Murphy R.
93
Direct speech
Direct speech
We use Direct speech to report exactly what another person has said. In
direct speech, what the person has said, is placed within quotation marks
(“…”) and should be word by word.
- Daniel asked me, “Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow
night?”
With reported speech, as opposed to direct speech, we don’t use quotation marks and it doesn’t have
to be word by word. In general, when we use indirect or reported speech, the verb tense changes.
We sometimes use “that” in affirmative and negative sentences to introduce what the other person has
said and interrogative sentences, if or whether are used.
As reported by the English Grammar Blog, below you are going to find a table with an explanation of
the tense changes in indirect or reported speech.
Note: when we speak about something that has not changed (that is still true) or
something in the future, we don’t need to change the verb tense.

Direct speech Reported speech
Greg said, "Why are you studying?". He asked me why I was studying.
"I didn't want to work", she said. She said that she hadn't wanted to work.

UNIT 3
• Adding information, Sequencing and Summarizing
Have you ever wanted to tell a friend a story and you don't know what words to use to join ideas, to
sequence it or summarize it? In this lesson, you will learn about linking words, adding, sequencing, and
summarizing your stories.
According to the English Grammar Blog, linking words sometimes also referred to as “connectors”, are
words that link or relate to ideas, either within a sentence (connecting to clauses) or within a paragraph
(linking to sentences). Linking words have various functions, such as for contrasting information,
making comparisons, adding information or giving reasons or explanations. Using the incorrect linking
word can entirely change the meaning of the sentence and can cause quite a bit of confusion. It is
therefore important to have a good understanding of the various meetings and uses of these words.
These words are also a great way of improving your English as they allow you to express yourself in a
more complex manner. So, we will learn an explanation of the various functions of linking words and
the grammatical rules for their use.
102

The most common linking word for adding information, “and” is used within sentences, frequently
in lists which are separated by commas, though a comma is never used before or after the and.
Also
“Also” is used between a subject and verb to give extra information or to give emphasis.
In addition
Frequently found at the beginning of a sentence, “in addition” is used to add information to the
previous sentence.
As well as
This linking word and be used at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence.
Too
“Too” may be found at either the end of a sentence or between the subject and verb. It means “as

as”.
Furthermore
This more formal linking word adds additional information to an idea and is generally found at the
beginning of a sentence.
Moreover
Like “furthermore” this connector adds additional information to an idea and is generally found at
the beginning of a sentence.

5. Cada estudiante deberá subir su video a su drive personal (Google, iCloud, One Drive, o la nube
de su preferencia) y deberá enviar los enlaces para que los docentes puedan accesarlos y
calificarlos.
6. NO se aceptarán videos enviados por correo, porque el peso de dicho producto dificulta su
manejo, se deberán enviar links (enlaces) a sus nubes o drives para poder ser revisados.
7. Además del video, los estudiantes deberán enviar el script o guion del mismo para que el
docente pueda revisar el uso del idioma.
III Calificación:
IMPORTANTE: Todas las situaciones especiales de los alumnos y las que surjan durante el periodo
de tiempo en el que los videos proyectos deberán ser entregados, tendrán que ser comunicadas en
tiempo y forma a los docentes de Inglés de sus respectivas clases para encontrar una solución a dichas
situaciones.
