Key learning points
- 'Desde hace' means 'for' and it appears together with the present tense to say how long we've been doing something.
- 'Hace' means 'ago' and we use it with the past.
- We use the present tense of 'llevar' + time + present participle to say how long we have been doing something.
- The BORDER acronym is a useful tool to respond fully and accurately to bullet point writing prompts.
Keywords
Desde hace - for (a period of time)
Llevar+time+present participle - two-verb structure to say how long we have been doing something
BORDER - acronym used to respond fully and accurately to bullet point writing prompts
Common misconception
I can only use BORDER for short pieces of writing.
BORDER is also a very useful strategy for extended pieces of writing. Simply apply it to each paragraph separately. This will help you respond clearly and completely to each bullet point.
