Have You Ever…? · class bingo

你曾經…？・全班賓果

Dom asks for bingo, so here is a grid. Students move around, ask the full question, and write a name in a square only after asking one follow-up question. The follow-up is where the real English happens.
Dom 要賓果，這裡備好九宮格。學生走動、問完整的問句，追問一題之後才能在格子裡寫名字。追問的那一句才是真正在說英文。

…eaten stinky tofu?　|　…visited Taipei 101?　|　…forgotten your homework?
…seen a typhoon?　|　…tried surfing?　|　…met a foreigner before?
…climbed a mountain?　|　…cooked for your family?　|　…been on a night train?
Follow-up must be past simple: When did you…? / How was it? / Who did you go with?

The trap · 過 and 了 go to different tenses

陷阱・「過」和「了」去了不同的時態

過 is experience with no date — that is the present perfect. 了 with a finished time is the past simple. The rule that follows: the present perfect can never sit next to a finished past time. Say 'no dates allowed' and students remember it.
「過」是沒有日期的經驗——那是現在完成式。「了」加上結束的時間點，那是過去簡單式。由此得出一條規則：現在完成式旁邊不能放結束了的時間。告訴學生「完成式不准帶日期」，他們就記得住。

我去過日本。（經驗） ✓ I have been to Japan.
我去年去了日本。（有時間） ✓ I went to Japan last year.
✗ I have gone to Japan last year.　← 完成式不准帶日期
Your turn — fix this: ✗ I have seen that movie yesterday.
Your turn — choose: She ______ (finish) her report already.

Where the four signal words sit

四個訊號字站在哪裡

Position is half the battle. ever and already go inside, between have and the participle; yet goes to the end; never replaces the not.
位置就是一半的勝負。ever 和 already 站在中間，夾在 have 和分詞之間；yet 站句尾；never 本身就是否定，不要再加 not。

Have you ever eaten it?　　(ever 在中間)
I have already eaten it.　　(already 在中間)
I haven't eaten it yet.　　(yet 在句尾)
I have never eaten it.　　(never 取代 not)
✗ I haven't never eaten it.　← 一個句子只要一個否定

Exit ticket · one experience, one date

出場券・一個經驗，一個日期

The pair proves they see the difference. Same event, two tenses, and the second one must carry a time.
成對出現才證明他們看懂了差別。同一件事，兩種時態，第二句一定要帶時間。

I have ______ .　(no date allowed)
I ______ last ______ .　(with a date)

Prep · 備課 No preparation needed, but read the trap card before you teach — the present perfect is the single hardest tense for Chinese speakers, and the reason is specific: 過 and 了 look alike in Chinese and land in different English tenses.
不必備課，但教之前先看一眼陷阱卡——現在完成式是中文母語者最難的一個時態，原因很具體：中文的「過」和「了」長得像，在英文裡卻落在不同的時態。
