Can you both help me fill in the blanks here?
Let's start with question 1
1) What ..... you ...... (do) lately?
Too bad you're missing this topic! It's a good one!
I'm OK! This is good content though, you should try to review it some day if you have time.
That's good ... this is important information
For example .... if I ask you: "What have you been doing lately?"
How could you answer?
I've been writing an essay for schol
essay 论文.. but you can also say paper!
"I've been writing a paper for school."
Paper is more casual, and 口语化
Essay is what the real name is.
How have you been feeling recently?
I've been feeling guilty, because I've missed so many classes.
So now let's go on and see how the pronouncation of Present Perfect Continuous tenses should go.
For example
In the sentence: Has your brother been studying German?
If you want to show that NO... I'M the one who is studying German
Then we put the emphasis on me
Are you studying English?
No, I'm studying CHINESE.
Are you 22 years old?
No, I'm 42 years old!
So here, we just want to practice making questions and answering them.
Have you been doing anything unusual lately?
Have you been working out lately?
