Listening exercises

You're just one step away from the formative test. To practise a little extra with the past simple and present perfect we will also do some listening exercises. One exercise is about recognising the past simple, the other one about recognising the present perfect.

  • You must complete both exercises.
  • You may choose the exercise you want to do first.

Hint: the exercise on the left is easier šŸ˜‰
