 Here's an idea for teaching the present perfect continuous tense, however in this activity what the students will be doing is comparing and contrasting this tense with the present perfect tense. This is something that a teacher will want to do after they've explored both tenses and because both tenses are quite confusing will ask the students to compare and contrast the two making sure that they can tell the difference. In this activity the teacher will have cut out each individual card. The teacher will distribute the cards to the students and ask them to have a look at both sides. After a minute has gone by the teacher will then ask the students to fold their cards over and get into a pair. One student in the pair will then present a certain result and ask the student to form the question here with the prompts why be angry. The student will of course ask why are you angry. The other student will then flip over the rest of the card and read wait for you since six o'clock and hopefully come up with a statement because I've been waiting for you since six o'clock. However with this card we won't be using the same tense. Again we'll be asking why are you hungry and the student will have to answer because I haven't eaten all day. Hopefully by the end of the activity the teacher will be able to recognize that the students are correctly deciding which tense the activity needs to be put into.
