2 Write sentences about Ben's life using the prompts and the past simple or present perfect.
1 (visit / Croatia / three times)
6 never / go / to Paris)
7 (travel / to New York and Miami in 2010)
8 (go / paragliding / last year in Scotland)
9 (not try / surfing)
To answer the question, we need to use the prompts given and the past simple or present perfect tense to write sentences about Ben's life. Let's go step by step:
1. (visit / Croatia / three times)
To answer this prompt, we can use the past simple tense because it refers to completed actions in the past. The verb "visit" should be conjugated in the past simple form. Here's the sentence:
"Ben visited Croatia three times."
2. (never / go / to Paris)
For this prompt, we need to use the present perfect tense because it talks about Ben's whole life up until now. The structure of the present perfect tense is "have/has + past participle." In this case, we use "never" as an adverb. Here's the sentence:
"Ben has never gone to Paris."
3. (travel / to New York and Miami in 2010)
Again, this prompt refers to a specific time in the past, so we use the past simple tense. Here's the sentence:
"Ben traveled to New York and Miami in 2010."
4. (go / paragliding / last year in Scotland)
This prompt talks about an action that happened recently in the past, so we use the past simple tense. Here's the sentence:
"Ben went paragliding last year in Scotland."
5. (not try / surfing)
For this prompt, we can use the present perfect tense to talk about actions that have not happened up until now. Here's the sentence:
"Ben has not tried surfing."
To summarize, the sentences about Ben's life using the prompts and the past simple or present perfect tense would be as follows:
1. Ben visited Croatia three times.
2. Ben has never gone to Paris.
3. Ben traveled to New York and Miami in 2010.
4. Ben went paragliding last year in Scotland.
5. Ben has not tried surfing.
