Kuralı ezberleme; örneklerden kendin keşfet.
What do you notice about the verb form after 'have/has', and about the words 'since', 'for', 'already' and 'just'?
Complete the sentences with the correct present perfect form of the verb in brackets.
Well done! You're using the present perfect like a pro.
Build full present perfect sentences from the cues.
✓ I have visited three continents.
She has lived abroad for two years.
They have not tried Turkish cuisine yet.
How long have you known your best friend?
We have already bought the ingredients.
My parents have been married since 1998.
He has just arrived from the market.
Write 2-3 original sentences about your own life experiences using the present perfect with 'since', 'for', 'already' or 'just'.
We form the present perfect with have/has + past participle. We use it for life experiences (without saying exactly when), for actions that started in the past and continue now (with 'for' + a period of time or 'since' + a point in time), and for very recent actions ('just') or actions completed before now ('already').
TRPresent perfect, have/has + fiilin 3. hali ile yapılır. Ne zaman olduğunu söylemeden yaşam deneyimlerini anlatmak için, geçmişte başlayıp hâlâ devam eden durumlar için ('for' + süre veya 'since' + zaman noktası ile) ve çok yakın zamanda olmuş ('just') veya şu andan önce tamamlanmış ('already') eylemler için kullanılır.
Use it to talk about travel and life experiences ('Have you ever...?'), how long something has continued ('How long have you lived here?'), and recent completed actions ('I have just finished my homework.').
TRSeyahat ve yaşam deneyimlerinden bahsederken ('Hiç ... yaptın mı?'), bir şeyin ne kadar süredir devam ettiğini sorarken ('Burada ne kadar süredir yaşıyorsun?') ve yakın zamanda tamamlanmış eylemlerden bahsederken ('Ödevimi az önce bitirdim.') kullanılır.
Use the past participle (gone), not the past simple form (went), after have/has.
TRHave/has'ten sonra geçmiş zaman hali (went) değil, geçmiş ortaç (gone) kullanılır.
Use 'for' with a period of time (five years) and 'since' with a point in time (2019).
TRSüre belirtirken (beş yıl) 'for', zaman noktası belirtirken (2019) 'since' kullanılır.
The past participle after 'have' is 'eaten', not 'ate'.
TR'Have'den sonra gelen geçmiş ortaç 'eaten'dır, 'ate' değil.
Which words go with countable nouns like 'eggs' and which go with uncountable nouns like 'rice'?
Complete the sentences with some, any, much or many.
Great job telling countable and uncountable nouns apart!
Build shopping sentences from the cues using some, any, much or many.
✓ There are some potatoes.
How many carrots do we need?
There isn't any cheese in the fridge.
How much rice is in the bag?
Can I have some olives, please?
We don't have many eggs left.
Is there any milk in the fridge?
Write 2-3 original sentences about the food in your own kitchen using some, any, much or many.
Countable nouns (an egg, two eggs, apples) have singular and plural forms and are used with 'many'. Uncountable nouns (rice, milk, sugar) have no plural form and are used with 'much'. 'Some' is usually used in positive sentences (and offers/requests), and 'any' is usually used in negative sentences and questions, with both countable and uncountable nouns.
TRSayılabilen isimler (bir yumurta, iki yumurta, elmalar) tekil ve çoğul biçimlere sahiptir ve 'many' ile kullanılır. Sayılamayan isimlerin (pirinç, süt, şeker) çoğul biçimi yoktur ve 'much' ile kullanılır. 'Some' genellikle olumlu cümlelerde (ve teklif/istek cümlelerinde), 'any' ise genellikle olumsuz cümlelerde ve sorularda, hem sayılabilen hem sayılamayan isimlerle kullanılır.
Use these words when shopping for food, talking about quantities in recipes, or asking what is available in the fridge or at the market.
TRYemek alışverişi yaparken, tariflerdeki miktarlardan bahsederken veya buzdolabında/pazarda nelerin bulunduğunu sorarken bu kelimeler kullanılır.
'Orange' is countable, so we use 'many', not 'much'.
TR'Orange' sayılabilen bir isimdir, bu yüzden 'much' değil 'many' kullanılır.
'Apples' is countable plural, so it needs 'many', not 'much'.
TR'Apples' sayılabilen çoğul bir isimdir, bu yüzden 'much' değil 'many' gerekir.
'Any', not 'some', is normally used in questions.
TRSorularda normalde 'some' değil 'any' kullanılır.
| Countable (many) | Uncountable (much) | |
|---|---|---|
| Example noun | apple(s), egg(s), potato(es)How many apples do we have? | rice, milk, sugar, breadHow much rice do we have? |
| Plural form | Yes, can be pluraltwo eggs, five potatoes | No plural forma bag of rice, some bread |
What do you notice about the auxiliary verb in the tag when the main sentence is positive, and when it is negative?
Complete the question tags.
Excellent! You're mastering question tags.
Add the correct question tag to complete each sentence.
✓ You have never tried Chinese food, have you?
Your country doesn't have a lot of continents nearby, does it?
This recipe needs a lot of ingredients, doesn't it?
You can cook Turkish food, can't you?
They are from different countries, aren't they?
She doesn't like spicy food, does she?
We have already visited this market, haven't we?
Write 2-3 original sentences about food or nationalities with correct question tags.
A question tag is a short question added to the end of a statement to check information or keep a conversation going. If the main sentence is positive, the tag is usually negative; if the main sentence is negative, the tag is usually positive. The tag repeats the auxiliary/modal verb of the main sentence (or uses do/does/did for the present simple/past simple).
TRSoru eki, bilgiyi kontrol etmek veya sohbeti sürdürmek için bir ifadenin sonuna eklenen kısa bir sorudur. Ana cümle olumluysa eki genellikle olumsuz, ana cümle olumsuzsa eki genellikle olumludur. Ek, ana cümledeki yardımcı/yapı fiili tekrarlar (ya da geniş/geçmiş zamanda do/does/did kullanılır).
Use question tags in everyday conversation to confirm something you think is true, or to invite the other person to agree or respond.
TRGünlük konuşmada doğru olduğunu düşündüğünüz bir şeyi teyit etmek veya karşınızdaki kişiyi hemfikir olmaya/cevap vermeye davet etmek için soru ekleri kullanılır.
The tag uses the auxiliary form (don't you), not the full verb repeated.
TREk, yardımcı fiil biçimini kullanır (don't you), fiilin tekrar edilmiş tam hali değil.
A negative statement needs a positive tag.
TROlumsuz bir ifadeden sonra olumlu bir ek gelmelidir.
Only the modal verb + pronoun are needed in the tag, not the whole verb again.
TREkte sadece yardımcı fiil + zamir gerekir, fiil tekrar edilmez.

Özgün metin ve anlama soruları.
The world is divided into seven continents: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia. Each continent is home to many countries, and each country has its own nationality, language and traditions. Turkey, for example, is located on two continents, Europe and Asia, which makes its culture a fascinating mix of East and West.
People from different countries often have very different daily habits. In some cultures, families eat their main meal together in the evening, while in others, lunch is the most important meal of the day. Greetings can also vary a lot: in some countries people shake hands, in others they bow, and in others they kiss on both cheeks. Learning about these customs helps travellers show respect when they visit a new place.
Nationality is not only about a passport; it is also about shared history, food and celebrations. Many young people today have friends from several different nationalities because of the internet and international schools. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about other cultures without leaving home. By asking questions and listening carefully, students can discover how people in other parts of the world live, eat and celebrate special occasions.
Understanding other cultures also helps us understand our own culture better. When we compare our traditions with those of other countries, we notice what makes our own nationality and way of life special. This is why many schools now encourage students to learn about world cultures alongside their own history and language.

Food is one of the best ways to learn about a country's culture. In Italy, families often gather for long meals that include pasta, fresh bread and vegetables grown nearby. In Japan, rice, fish and vegetables are the base of most meals, and food is usually presented in small, beautifully arranged portions. In Mexico, corn, beans and chilli peppers appear in almost every traditional dish, giving Mexican cuisine its famous spicy flavour.
In Turkey, meals often start with a variety of small dishes called mezes, followed by grilled meat or fish and ending with sweet desserts like baklava. Bread is a staple food and is served with almost every meal. Many Turkish families still follow the tradition of eating together and sharing food from the same plates, which shows the importance of community and hospitality in Turkish culture.
Shopping for food is also different from country to country. In some places, people buy fresh ingredients every day from local markets, while in others, they prefer to buy packaged food from large supermarkets once a week. Some people follow special diets for health or personal reasons, such as being vegetarian or avoiding certain ingredients, and shops around the world are increasingly offering more choices to meet these needs.
Trying new food is a simple but powerful way to connect with another culture. Even if you cannot travel to a country, tasting its traditional dishes can teach you about its history, geography and values. This is one reason why food culture is such a popular topic when people talk about life in different parts of the world.

InterviewerSo, Elif, you've lived in several countries, haven't you?
ElifYes, that's right. I was born in Turkey, but I've also lived in Germany and, more recently, in Canada.
InterviewerHow long have you lived in Canada?
ElifI've lived here for almost two years now. Before that, I lived in Germany for six years, since I was ten.
InterviewerThat's really interesting. Have you noticed big differences in food culture?
ElifDefinitely! In Germany, people eat bread with almost every meal, but here in Canada, people often eat much bigger portions and lots of different cuisines because so many nationalities live here.
InterviewerHave you tried food from many different countries, then?
ElifYes, I've already tried Indian, Chinese, Mexican and Lebanese food, just in my neighbourhood! I've never eaten so many different cuisines in one place before.
InterviewerThat sounds amazing. Thanks so much for sharing, Elif.
