My+imaginary+friends

I believed in fairies when I was very young. They lived under the grape vine in the garden. I would clean out the dead leaves and put fresh saw dust down. I used saw dust because I thought it would be soft on their feet, I didn’t think that they would probably fly around, being fairies. One day my older brother had a friend stay over and when I had gone to bed they snuck out and made fairy foot prints with two sharp pencils all through the saw dust. I didn’t find out it was my brother until years later! What tense is this story written in? list the words that indicate the tense.

Time Expressions with Present Perfect
When we use the Present Perfect it means that something has happened at some point in our lives before now. Remember, the exact time the action happened is not important. Sometimes, we want to limit the time we are looking in for an experience. We can do this with expressions such as: in the last week, in the last year, this week, this month, so far, up to now, etc. Examples:
 * **Have** you **been** to Mexico **in the last year**?
 * I **have seen** that movie six times **in the last month**.
 * They **have had** three tests **in the last week**.
 * She graduated from university less than three years ago. She **has worked** for three different companies **so far**.
 * My car **has broken** down three times **this week**.

NOTICE
"Last year" and "in the last year" are very different in meaning. "Last year" means the year before now, and it is considered a specific time which requires [|Simple Past]. "In the last year" means from 365 days ago until now. It is not considered a specific time, so it requires Present Perfect. Examples: > //I went to Mexico in the calendar year before this one.// > //I have been to Mexico at least once at some point between 365 days ago and now.//
 * I **went** to Mexico **last year**.
 * I **have been** to Mexico **in the last year**.

USE 2 Duration From the Past Until Now (Non-Continuous Verbs)
With [|Non-Continuous Verbs] and non-continuous uses of [|Mixed Verbs], we use the Present Perfect to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. "For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since Tuesday" are all durations which can be used with the Present Perfect. Examples: Although the above use of Present Perfect is normally limited to Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, the words "live," "work," "teach," and "study" are sometimes used in this way even though they are NOT Non-Continuous Verbs.
 * I **have had** a cold for two weeks.
 * She **has been** in England for six months.
 * Mary **has loved** chocolate since she was a little girl.

ADVERB PLACEMENT
