part 3 - Make sure you know what the words mean, and then think of one type of music that each one can describe.
---
part 5 - Listen and correct the factual errors.
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. / since it began.
4 Zap Mama has had several hits around the world.
(In British English, Zap Mama is a group of people, so we use plural verbs. In American English, it’s the singular name for one group, so we use singular verbs.)

Grammar: present perfect

These sentences are in present perfect.
form: present perfect = has/have + past participle
meaning: the action started in the past but continues in the present or could happen more in the future
---
Words that are common with present perfect: since, for, yet, already, just
since + the time when I started to do something (since 1990, since yesterday, since I was a child)
for + the quantity of time (for two years, for three months, for a long time)

Since when?
For how long?
---
p. 23 part 11 - Complete these sentences with the present perfect form of the verb so they’re true for you, and then compare with your partner.
1 I have lived here for three months. (I have been living here…)
2 I have been at my current job since 2013.
3 I have known my best friend since my childhood. / since I was a child.
4 I haven’t listened to you for ages.
5 I have always wanted to travel to Australia.
6 I have never had the chance to go to university.
7 I have studied English since I was 15 years old.  (I have been studying English…)
8 I have been in this class for 2 hours.

BREAK
---
No class on Saturday, May 28. This session will finish on June 4.
---
already, just, yet

I haven’t (yet) had my vacation week (yet).
= I haven’t had it, but I will in the future.

Have they gotten married yet?
= I don’t know if they have, but I expect that they will.

I have (already) done my homework (already).
= I have done it, possibly sooner than expected.

Have they (already) gotten married (already)?
= I’m asking if it happened sooner than expected (and I think the answer is “yes”).
---
“already” functions similarly to “some-” words, and “yet” is like “any-” words
---
The store has just opened. = The store just opened. (simple past is more common in American English)
= It happened very recently.
---
p. 25 part 8 - Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verb (to + verb or verb(ing)) and then share with your partner whether each sentence is true for you.
1 doing (enjoy + gerund)
2 Painting (gerund is more common as the subject)
3 to be (adjective + infinitive)
4 changing (imagine + gerund)
5 to learn (adjective + infinitive, especially with “too” or “enough”)
6 to play (learn + infinitive)
7 trying (preposition + gerund)
8 to find (seem + infinitive)
---
gerund = verb(ing), used as a noun
infinitive = to + base form
---
After verbs, you need to memorize whether to use the gerund or infinitive.

Some verbs change meaning between gerund and infinitive:
I stopped smoking. = I used to smoke but now I don’t smoke any more.
I stopped to smoke. = I stopped something else in order to smoke.
(This is an infinitive of purpose, like “I went to the store to get some milk.”)
---
With your group, plan an entertainment event to raise money for a charity of your choice.
	(Decide when and where, what charity, what entertainment, which artists, etc.)
Then make a flyer/poster to advertise the event (on the T, for example).
---
Present your idea to the rest of the class.
