Task Description
"Present perfect" is a very wrong and confusing term; it is, nonetheless, the way most teachers know it. In this video, I help students understand the underlying semantics of this grammatical structure. Retrospective English Tense would be a better term; you can learn more about it in my website: sergio.thinkific.com I am an expert in cognitive linguistics and an EFL/ESL teacher. It is my hope that this video and other resources that I am developing will help our community teach our subject matter in a more effective and meaningful way.

Scene summary
A retrospective of COVID-19 from January to July. This helps create the semantic background of the structure at hand.
