Here is an interesting way to teach the present perfect and present perfect continuous. Individuals practice these verb tenses as well as the simple past by asking a partner questions about an imaginary biography. The biography is included and is set up like a timeline. After the discussion is over, ask pupils to write down their questions so that you can check for understanding.
