"Pragmatics makes grammar come alive". - David Crystal
Pragmatics definition : the branch of linguistics dealing with language in use and the contexts in which it is used, including such matters as deixis, the taking of turns in conversation, text organization, presupposition, and implicature.
Aim: Practising the use of the Present perfect tense to discuss experiences, practising the correct pronunciation of participles and of course, activating new vocabulary through discussion questions.
