Present perfect

Time: 25 minutes
Level: 9th grade
Aims: practising present perfect, listening skills
Tools: worksheet, song

This activity is there not only for grammar of present perfect but also for listening discrimination. Since this song is chosen for repeated present perfect phrases I chose to fill in just the past participles. They are listed here and students must select them during listening of the song. It could be probably play twice and then they would check it in pairs. Lately we could also talk about the meaning of the songs or the unknown vocabulary.

BRANDY - HAVE YOU EVER???

The missing words in the song are:

loved/needed/ tried/been/been/had/searched/found/dreamed/found/closed/dreamed/

 

 

Have you ever………….somebody so much

It makes you cry

Have you ever ………… something so bad

You can't sleep at night

Have you ever ……. to find the words

But they don't come out right

Have you ever, have you ever?

 

Have you ever …….. in love?

……… in love so bad

You'd do anything to make them understand

Have you ever…… someone steal your heart away

You'd give anything to make them feel the same

Have you ever ……… for words to get you in their heart

But you don't know what to say

And you don't know where to start

[Chorus]

 

Have you ever………. the one

You've …………… of all of your life

You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes

Have you finally………… the one you've ------ your heart to

Only to find that one won't give their heart to you

Have you ever ……. your eyes and

……….that they were there

And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care

[Chorus]

 

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby?

What do I gotta say to get to your heart?

To make you understand how I need you next to me

Gotta get you in my world

'Cuz baby I can't sleep

[Chorus]
