Answer key: 1. have lived, for 2. don't have to 3. has worked, since 4. visited 5. has been studying

8. Independent practice

Write a short paragraph (eight sentences) introducing yourself: your life experience, how long you have done your main activities, and one rule or piece of advice relevant to your work or studies. Use at least four different grammar points from this cycle.

Quick summary

• Cycle 1 combined the Present Perfect (simple and continuous), for/since, and obligation and advice modals.
