End of Unit 12
Well done - you have reached the end of Unit 12. We hope you enjoyed learning a bit about the BBC and listening to students in the UK. We're taking a short break from this course - no Unit 13 just yet. But join us next for our festive drama!

The present perfect is often used to talk about situations that started in the past and are continuing now.
We talk about how long using the words for and since.
for = throughout (a period of time)
They’ve been married for six months.
since = from (an exact point in time) until now
They’ve been married since March.
We can also use present perfect + since + past simple.
I haven’t seen Tanya since we graduated.
The present perfect is made with subject + have/has (positive) or haven’t/hasn’t (negative) + past participle.
