routines or permanent situations. We use

adverbs of frequency and time expressions,

such as always, every day, once a week.

happening now. We use time expressions,

such as now, at this moment.

1 Florence Nightingale lived and worked in

the 18th / 19th century.

2 She was a nurse / soldier.

Florence Nightingale

I think one of the most interesting people in history was Florence Nightingale. She became a nurse in 1844. In October 1853, the Crimean War started. Florence wanted to help the soldiers so she travelled to the war. There were thousands of soldiers in hospital. The hospital was dirty. There were rats and some men didn’t have beds. Florence and the other nurses cleaned the hospital and looked after the soldiers.

On 9th July, 1860, she started a nursing school in London. It still exists today.

She died at 12pm on 13th August, 1910.

I like Florence Nightingale because she wanted btter hospitals and training for nurses.

Competition:

First prize winner (under-14s): Class 9B: Haymarket School, Newquay

There was an earthquake in China. We watched the news on TV and we saw homeless pandas. So we decided to help.

Firstly we wrote to the panda sanctuary in China. We wanted to find out what to do. They told us they needed money to help look after the pandas.

So, we made a lot of black and white bracelets. Then, we sold our bracelets to make money. Then, we made posters of pandas and we’ve sold them too. We’ve collected a lot of money!

Finally, we’re going to send all the money to the sanctuary for food and homes for the pandas.

Language reference Present perfect

We use the present perfect to talk about past

experiences. We aren’t interested in, or we

don’t know, when they happened.

We form the present perfect with have / has +

the past participle of the verb.

• I have organized a competition.

• He has bought a laptop.

We form the negative with haven’t / hasn’t +

the past participle of the verb.

• They haven’t reduced their screen time.

The regular past participle ending is –ed.

• use ➔ used

Many common verbs are irregular. The past

participle of some verbs are the same as the

past simple form.

• have ➔ had ➔ had, meet ➔ met ➔ met.

The past participle of other verbs is different

from the past simple form.

• ride ➔ rode ➔ ridden, see ➔ saw ➔ seen

Use the irregular verb list on page 126 of the

Student Book to help you.


• You have seen a tiger.

• Have you seen a tiger?

We don’t repeat the past participle in short

answers.

• Have you touched a snake?

• Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t. ✓

• Yes, I have touched. No I haven’t touched. ✗

We sometimes use ever in questions to mean

‘at any time in your life’.

• Have you ever seen a penguin?

• Has he ever ridden an elephant?
