3. Present Perfect Continuous Tense  The present perfect continuous tense combines the previous 3 into one FUN tense! Example: I have been playing… He’s been playing…

10. Unit 9: Two-word Verbs  Some verbs are best used together.  By using two-word verbs, we’re being more precise and exact in our meaning  Sometimes, two-word verbs are separated by pronouns (I, he,she, it, etc.)

11. Unit 10: Connectors  If you want to show agreement, you can use “me too.” Example:A.“I like pizza” B.“I do, too.” Or, we can also use another connector: A.“I like pizza.” B.“So do I.”  ‘So’ and ‘, too’ provide the same meaning.
