A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use learner pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until feedback.
- Read the paint-on-sleeves conversation and connect the activity to its visible result.
- Complete the studying, helping, practising, sleeping and revising items, then form the practice/work questions.
- Write three recent activities with one duration and ask a partner how long or why.
Support and extension
An activity may have just stopped but left visible evidence. Contrast this use with state verbs such as know and own, rather than making every perfect form continuous.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
