Grammar: present perfect

p. 22 part 5 - Listen to the the radio show and correct the factual errors in the sentences.
1 Manu Chao has not been successful in the English-speaking world.
2 World fusion has become better-known since the release of Paul Simon’s album Graceland.
3 Peter Gabriel has been part of WOMAD for many years. / part of WOMAD since it began.
4 Zap Mama has had several hits internationally.
(British English: Zap Mama have had…, American English: Zap Mama has had…)

Why do we use present perfect in these sentences?
- They are about things that started in the past but are still true now.
- They are about things which can continue or change in the future.

Present Perfect Form:
+	subj + have/has + past participle
	I have lived here for 9 years. / She has lived here for 9 years.
-	subj + have/has not + past participle
	I haven’t been to Paris. / She hasn’t been to Paris.
? y/n	have/has + subj + past participle
	Have you heard this? / Has she heard this?
	Yes, I have. No, I haven’t. / Yes, she has. No, she hasn’t.
info-	wh- + have/has + subj + past participle
	Where have you lived in your life? / Where has she lived in her life?

Grammar: gerunds and infinitives
infinitive = to + base form
gerund = verb(ing) used like a noun

Some verbs can be followed by either the gerund or infinitive: like, love, hate, start
	I like to go. = I like going. / I started to teach. = I started teaching.
Some can only go with the gerund: enjoy, dislike, imagine
	I enjoy dancing. I dislike singing. I can’t imagine dancing in public.
Some can only go with the infinitive: have, want, need, learn
	I have to study. I want to learn. I’m learning to dance.

gerunds are similar to nouns: they can be subjects and they can go after prepositions
Dancing makes me feel young. Smoking is unhealthy.
I don’t know much about dancing. It’s a way of meeting people.

infinitives can also go after adjectives and they can be at the end of a sentence for the purpose
It’s too cold to swim today. I’m glad to meet you. It was nice to talk to them.
People dance (in order) to feel young. People sing (in order) to express emotions.

get + adjective = become + adjective
get + location = arrive + location
get + noun = receive/obtain + noun

4 changing (imagine + gerund)
5 to learn (“old” is an adjective)
6 (how) to play (learn + infinitive)
7 trying (“about” is a preposition)
8 to find (seem + infinitive)
folk = the common people
