Liz! I think I’ve lost my passport!
LIZ: What? Oh no - are you sure you brought it with you?
SHAMIRA: Yes, quite sure - it was in my bag when I left the house, and now it’s gone!
LIZ: Have you dropped it somewhere in the shop here?
SHAMIRA: I don't think so - I've only just opened my bag.
LIZ: OK. Don’t panic. Let me pay for all this, and then we’ll go to the police station and
report it lost.
SHAMIRA: Yes. Maybe someone’s found it somewhere and handed it in.

T: Now, we are going to compare two tenses:
The Present Perfect Tense vs the Past Simple Tense.
The Past Simple is used to talk about past events which happened in a finished period of
time.
The Past Simple is used:
1) When the period of time is finished:
- I wrote two letters yesterday. (Yesterday is finished.)
2) When the time is mentioned, either a precise time in the past, or a time expression
which clearly situates the event in the past:
- I lived in the country ... until the age of 6 ... when I was young ... from 1985 to
1992 ... before we moved to London ... a long time ago

Task 4. Put the verbs into the correct tense (simple past or present perfect simple).
1. Mother: I want to prepare dinner. (you / wash) ______ the dishes yet?
2. Daughter: I (wash) ______ the dishes yesterday, but I (have / not) ______ the
time yet to do it today.
3. Mother: (you / do / already) ______ your homework?
4. Daughter: No, I (come / just) ______ home from school.
5. Mother: You (come) ______ home from school two hours ago!
6. Daughter: Well, but my friend Lucy (call) ______ when I (arrive) ______ and I
(finish / just) ______ the phone call.
7. Mother: (you / see / not) ______ Lucy at school in the morning?
8. Daughter: Yes, but we (have / not) ______ time to talk then.
