Teaching notes

Twelve "Have you ever…?" questions about life experiences, from meeting a famous person to breaking a bone, with irregular past participles such as met, eaten, won, forgotten, ridden and sung. They practice the present perfect for experiences at A2–B1, and the switch to the past simple for the details.

Open a box and ask the class to answer with "Yes, I have" or "No, I haven't". When someone says yes, the others ask follow-up questions in the past simple: "When did it happen?", "Where were you?", "How did you feel?". In pairs, learners can note their partner's best story and tell it to the class. Switch it to Speaking cards or Spin the wheel for a second round, or print the list for learners to write their answers.
