A lesson about the Future Continuous and Future Perfect Verb Tenses:
Look at the itinerary of an organised trip in Cape Town centre this weekend.
Today's reading comes from BBC News Wales.
A code of conduct covering areas such as how pupils and teachers in Wales talk to each other on websites like Facebook is being opposed by a union. The NASUWT (National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers) says the new code is not wanted or needed and represents a waste of public money.

To Dan,
Hey Dan, how is you? I’m really good, I enjoying London. It is a very interested city. There are so much to do. What have you doing? Do you have some news for me?
I had a great weekend, at Friday I went to Oxford Street and did some shopping with my friends. On Saturday I went to Liverpool street, there are a cool market there. I buyed some clothes. I had a rest on Sunday, I was so tired.
Look at these two present perfect simple example sentences:
"The government has said they are going to introduce legislation."
"This is the first part of the report that we’ve agreed with."
The present perfect simple is have/ has + past participle.
It is really important when learning the past tenses, that you learn both the past simple form of the verb and the past participle. You also need to learn when you use them.
Present Perfect:
Have + past participle
E.g. I have studied dance for five years.
When we use more than one verb in a sentence there are specific patterns, e.g. the infinitive to or –ing, that follow the first verb.
Look at this example: "My friend suggested watching a dvd at home, but I want to go out.
The verb ‘suggested’ is followed by an –ing form of the next verb (gerund) and the verb ‘want’ is followed by the infinitive to.
This lesson is designed to test how well you know the different parts of speech. E.g. verb, noun, adjective, adverb etc. In each of the following sentences, one word has been capitalised. Your job is to decide which part of speech this word is.
When you have finished, I strongly recommend that for further practise you have a go at a game called ‘Mad-libs’, where you complete a story by adding in your own words! Try this website
