p. 59 part 6 - In the article, underline the present perfect verbs and circle the simple past verbs.

In paragraph 2, why are all the verbs present perfect?
- There is no specific time for the verbs. These are many things that have happened in his life.

In paragraph 3, why are almost all the verbs simple past?
- Most of the verbs have a specific finished time.

From Prince’s Wikipedia page:
He won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award.
- He died on April 21, so now everything about his life is past simple.

Before he died, this sentence was:
He has won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award.
- When he was alive, all of these things could happen again in the future.
---
“I have had one coffee today.” - I might have more coffee later today.

p. 59 part 7 - Complete the paragraph with the present perfect or simple past of these verbs.
1 have also flown (Fay and his team = they)
2 has done (1 and 2 are things Fay could do more in the future -> present perfect)
3 once spent (this is about a specific, finished 11-month trip)
4 didn’t have (this is about that same finished trip)
5 filled (same trip)
6 has used (“over the years” = during his whole life, so he may use more notebooks in future years)

Position of “also” (and many other adverbs):
He also speaks.
He is also speaking.
He is also going to speak.
He is also going to be speaking.
He also spoke.
He was also speaking.
He has also spoken.
He has also been speaking.

In phrasal verbs where “up” doesn’t change the meaning, “up” gives the idea of completeness:
warm up / heat up = warm / heat until it’s the correct temperature (to eat, for example)
fill up = fill completely
clean up = clean completely (especially after a meal or party or something)

(Remember: “up” sometimes changes the meaning - give / give up, turn / turn up, get / get up)
(In these cases, “up” doesn’t mean completion.)
