Lesson Plan: Present Perfect Tense - Daily Routine Vocabulary

Level: Grade 8

Topic: Daily Routine + Present Perfect Tense

Objective:

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

• Form the Present Perfect tense with regular and irregular verbs.
• Use the Present Perfect tense to talk about their daily routines, focusing on actions they have
completed or experienced.
• Understand the use of key adverbs like yet, already, ever, never, and just in context.

Warm-up (5 minutes):

1. Class Discussion: Begin by asking students questions about their daily routines. Use the Present
Perfect in the questions to model the structure:
o Have you ever skipped breakfast this week?
o What have you done since you woke up?
o Have you gotten ready for the weekend yet?
o What time have you woken up today?

This will activate prior knowledge of both the Present Perfect tense and daily routine vocabulary.

Presentation (10 minutes):

1. Review of the Present Perfect Tense:


o Explain that the Present Perfect connects past actions with the present and is often used to
discuss experiences or actions that have an impact on the current moment.

Form:

oAffirmative: Subject + have/has + past participle


Example: I have eaten breakfast already.
o Negative: Subject + have/has + not + past participle
Example: She hasn’t done her homework yet.
o Question: Have/Has + subject + past participle?
Example: Have they gone to school today?
2. Adverbs of Time:
o Already, Yet, Ever, Never, and Just:
▪ Already: Used in affirmative sentences to indicate something happened earlier than
expected.
▪ Yet: Used in negative sentences and questions to talk about something that hasn’t
happened up to now.
▪ Ever: Used in questions to talk about experiences up until now.
▪ Never: Used in negative sentences to indicate something hasn’t happened at any time.
▪ Just: Used to talk about an action that happened very recently.
Provide examples:

o I have already eaten.


o I haven’t finished my homework yet.
o Have you ever visited another country?
o I’ve never seen that movie.
o She’s just left the house.

Controlled Practice (10 minutes):

1. Fill-in-the-blanks with the Present Perfect:


o Provide sentences with missing verbs and adverbs. Students need to fill in the correct form of
the verb and adverb. Example:
o I __________ (do) my homework already.
o She __________ (never/try) sushi before.
o We __________ (just/finish) our lunch.
o Have you __________ (see) that movie yet?
2. Pair Work:
o Have students work in pairs, asking and answering questions about their daily routines using
the Present Perfect:
▪ Have you ever missed school?
▪ What time have you woken up this week?
▪ Have you already eaten lunch?

Production (10 minutes):

1. Personal Timeline:
o Ask students to create a Personal Timeline of their daily routines for the past week using the
Present Perfect tense. They should write 5 actions they have done or haven’t done yet this
week. Example:
▪ I have woken up at 6:30 every day this week.
▪ I haven’t gone to the gym yet this week.
▪ I’ve just finished my math homework.
2. Group Sharing:
o Students will share their timelines with the class, making corrections if needed. Encourage
students to expand on their ideas by asking follow-up questions using the Present Perfect
tense.

Wrap-up (5 minutes):

1. Quick Review:
Review the key points:
o The Present Perfect tense is used for actions that have happened in the past with relevance to
the present.
o Adverbs of time like already, yet, ever, never, and just help specify the timing or
frequency of actions.
2. Class Reflection:
Ask the students: What is one thing you have done today that you’ve never done before? This
encourages them to think critically about their own routines and practice using the tense in context.
Homework (optional):

Ask students to write a short paragraph (5-6 sentences) about their typical daily routine using the Present
Perfect tense, incorporating adverbs like already, yet, ever, and never. Encourage them to reflect on any
changes in their routine or actions they’ve experienced recently.

Extension/Challenge (if time allows):

For more advanced students or for extra practice, students can create questions about their routines in the
Present Perfect tense and interview a classmate. They can then compare their answers and share
similarities or differences with the class.
