The English market

Let's buy some fresh products at the market!

Today we are going to visit one really traditional place in the heart of Cork City. This food market has been open since 1788. It's one of the world's oldest municipal markets.

Some bread, fruit, and freshly caught seafood are just some of the specialities you can find at this place. Recently, the market gained worldwide fame when Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain visited it on her first ever state visit to the Republic of Ireland in 2011.

Have you ever been abroad?

We use present perfect in English with "ever" (once in your lifetime) and "never" (at no time in my lifetime) when we talk about our own life experiences.

Remember how to use the present perfect tense with ever & never and do an exercise about it. Then, let's practise how to use the present perfect with ever/never.

You can compose a digital poster to explain how to use ever & never with present perfect and make up some examples of its use.

In order to compose a good digital poster, you have to take into account the following 'Rubric to assess a digital poster'.
