One of my student teachers has raised these questions. I'd like to hear your explanations.
I have a question to ask you.
I’ve asked several experienced teachers and no one seems to have an
answer. When teaching the present perfect and using the verb ‘to mean’
saying he has meant sounds very odd and I can’t imagine using this term,
however, no one can give me an answer why. Can you help
?
Another query which is posing a
problem. The difference between recently and
lately. How can I explain to a student that saying ‘I
have lately read a book’ is incorrect. Obviously
latterly sounds better, but that’s rather cumbersome for
10th graders EFL. Any ideas ?
Thanks very much in
advance.
