How long...

Present Perfect Simple And Present Perfect Continuous

How long  by  ACE

 

How long has this been goin' on?
How long has this been goin' on?

Well your frriends with their fancy persuasions
Can't admit that it's part of a scheme
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem

And you said you were never intendin'
To break up our secret this way
But there ain't any use in pretendin'
It could happen to us any day

How long has this been goin' on? 4X

(CHORUS:)

We are family

I've got all my sisters with me

We are family

Get up everybody and sing

Everyone can see we're together

As we walk on by

...and we fly just like birds of a feather

I won't tell no lie

...all of the people around us they say

Can they be that close

Just let me state for the record

We're giving love in a family dose

(CHORUS x2)

Living life is fun and we've just begun

To get our share of this world's delights

(HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future

And our goal's in sight

(WE!) no we don't get depressed

Here's what we call our golden rule

Have faith in you and the things you do

You won't go wrong

This is our family Jewel

(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)

Enjoy yourselves this weekend!

Both of them look like their father.

       

_____________________________
 

1.  When we are not sure about facts and only judge by the appearances, we use different verbs or expressions. We’ve focused on:

• LOOK + adjective  or Age > John looks worried. Your sister looks really young. She looks only sixteen.

• LOOK LIKE + noun or pronoun > You look like an actor. She looks like her aunt. George looks like me.
•  
• LOOK AS IF + sentence > She looks as if she hasn't slept well for days.

* When asking about appearance use: 

   'What does she/ he look like? '

    'He is tall and very good- looking'.

* When asking about character use:

   'What is she/ he like?'

  ' He is generous and charming.'

 

1.2 .  Other questions and answers...NOTICE: *

   *   How is she?    She is fine!

   *   Who does she look like?    She looks very much like her father.

 

   *   How old does he look?    He looks about 20.

   * Does he look like his mum?    No, he doesn’t. He looks more like his father.

Modal Verbs REVISION

:-)
Now time to revise...

REMEMBER > All the auxiliary verbs except be, do and have are called modals. Unlike other auxiliary verbs modals only exist in their helping form; they cannot act alone as the main verb in a sentence.

Be, do, and have also differ from the other auxiliaries in that they can also serve as ordinary verbs in a given sentence.

The modal auxiliary verbs are always followed by the base form.

The modal verbs are:-

CAN / COULD / MAY / MIGHT / MUST /SHOULD /SHALL

Remember HAVE TO and BE ABLE TO are NOT  modal verbs, but are used to express obligation and ability in English

Modal	Example	Uses
Can/ Can’t	We can work it out. He can’t fix the pipe. Can I smoke here? He can’t be on holiday.	Ability / Possibility Inability / Impossibility Asking for permission Deduction
Could/ couln’t	Could I borrow your dictionary? Could you say it again more slowly? He could swim when he was 4.	Asking for permission. Request Ability in the past
BE ABLE TO	Sam won’t be able to come. Have you ever been able to play tennis? I’d love to be able to fly.	Ability/possiblity  in other tenses
Might	She might be outside.	Deduction
Must Mustn’t	We must go now. They mustn’t  play ball games there. She must be in her late twenties.	Necessity / Obligation Prohibition Deduction
Shall	Shall I help you with your luggage?	Offer
Should	We should solve this problem at once. I think we should  revise everything again. You shouldn't eat here.	Saying what’s right or correct Recommending action Advice
Have to	You have to drive on the left in Britain and in Australia. She has to wear a uniform at work. Does Peter have to get up early on Saturdays?  You don’t have to pay for this She doesn’t have to work on Friday afternoons.	‘External’ obligation Not necessary
