The second set of phrases concerns life experiences - sentences that would answer 'have you ever x?' questions. The intention with this is to expose students to all the different forms that basic perfect tense phrases can take.
This set also varies between singular and plural and between positive and negative. The aim with this set is to cover all the basic verbs and try to get phrases that people are likely to hear in everyday life, such as 'done homework' or 'passed the test'. Some life experiences are also included in this set, such as 'seen an elephant' and 'graduated from college'. The first set covers basic use of perfect tense to describe things that you have done at a non-specific point in time. These are grouped according to the different uses of perfect tense. The sentences used in this game are arranged into 4 sets of content. The 3 sentences here only have minor differences and the aim to give students practice in noticing correct grammar for perfect tense. In the third part, you have to look at the image and click on one of 3 sentences.
The aim here is to practice making accurate sentences and to test the students on word order and grammar issues.
