Here is an effective whiteboard staging and concept checking strategy:
1. Whiteboard Timeline Diagram
Sentence A: "I lived in London for 5 years."
[Past: 2010 ---- 2015] (X Finished) ----------------> [NOW: Living in Madrid]
Sentence B: "I have lived in London for 5 years."
[Past: 2021 ========================================> NOW: Still living in London]
2. Concept Checking Questions (CCQs)
For "I lived in London for 5 years" (Past Simple):
- "Do I live in London today?" → No.
- "Is this period of time finished?" → Yes.
For "I have lived in London for 5 years" (Present Perfect):
- "Did I move to London in the past?" → Yes (5 years ago).
- "Do I live in London today?" → Yes.
- "Will I possibly continue living there tomorrow?" → Yes.
