Food and Drink- Present Perfect Bluffing Game

Food and Present Perfect you must say yes bluffing game

Ask a yes/ no Present Perfect question about food and drink, using the words and/ or topics on the next page to help if you like, for example asking “Have you ever eaten in Pizza Express?” or “Have you ever bought live fish?” Your partner must answer “Yes, I have”, even if that is not true, i.e. they are not allowed to say “No, I haven’t” even if that is the case. Ask three questions about that experience, then guess if their “Yes, I have” answer was true or not. Then take turns doing the same thing.

Do the same, but this time only using suitable time expressions other than “ever” such as those below.
