Revision of already/just/never/ever/for/since

Hot Potatoes exercise. Practise using these adverbs correctly.

MORE ABOUT PRESENT PERFECT
FORM & USE



  1. Present Perfect is used for actions in the past which have a connection to the present. The time when these actions happened is not relevant so there is often no time complement.



  2. Present Perfect is used for recently completed actions. Actions that take place in a recent past. 
  3. Present Perfect is also used for actions beginning in the past that continue up to the present.

ESO-4 subject and object questions

Most questions are object questions. They ask about an object.
Where do you live?
Who did you see? 

And there are also subject questions. Questions we ask to find out about the subject. These questions are asked using 'who', 'what' and 'which'.  
Who plays football in this class?
What happened?
Which machine did Marconi invent? 

You can take a look at the following chart of question forms:



Form Examples
Object Questions wh- + auxiliary + subject + main verb Where do you live?
What will you do?
When is she coming?
Subject Questions wh- (=subject) + auxiliary + main verb
 
Notice that this structure is like affirmative sentence structure without the question word.
Who loves you?
Which car will arrive first?
What type of food costs less?


Now, try this Hot Potatoes exercise and choose the correct question.
