Hello,
I've got a question regarding the use of the present pefect and present perfect progressive. There's a picture of Tom's room, which is a terrible mess. Studens are supposed to find clues that show what Tom has done / has been doing. For example, there's an apple core, a crushed Cola can, a bin with a car magazine in it, a soaking wet towel, a deck of cards with some cards lying around, a pair of boots with a dirty football next to them, and a guitar on the bed.
The key reads
1. He has eaten an apple - ok,
2. He has drunk some Coke - ok,
3. He has read a car magazine - ok,
4. He has been swimming - ok,
5. He has played football - ?
6. He has played cards - ?
7. He has played the guitar - ?
I'd use the progressive in 5, 6 and 7, because there is some evidence for the process that was taking place.
Could anybody comment on that, please?
Thank you.
