17 Again: Present Perfect
This is one of those movies with a creative, original idea. Going back in time and being young again is always great for food for thought because this film is witty and fun. I used the whole idea of the film and segment to have students practice the use of the present perfect and present perfect continous tense, using already, still and yet in a meaningful manner.
I. Watch the movie segment and put yourself in the main characters shoes. Imagine you have gone 20 years back in time. You meet your best friend, who is now 20 years youn
ge
r than you, and tell him what youhave accomplished in your life since then (if you are not old enough to go back 20 years in time, make it 10 years).
You must use the present perfect tense.
Ex: I have become a lawyer.
1 .........................................................
2 ........................................................
3 .......................................................
4 .......................................................
II. Now tell your friend a few things that you still haven't doneor haven't done yet in these 20 years but you intend to do soon.
1 .....................................................
2 ....................................................
3 ....................................................
4 ...................................................
IV. Switch roles with your partner.
