Didn't vs Haven't | What is the difference and how to use them both correctly and fluently

[@dianacarrasco4958]

Hello Teacher Paul, Im very happy to find your videos. Thanks a lot.

[@beautifulbritishenglish]

Glad you like them!

[@endonca]

Yeah me too♥️

I wanted to ask someone if they bought an equity at a certain price. It was higher at the time, but I still couldn't decide whether I should use did you or have you in the question. Although the question 'Is the action still possible?' opens up a number of philosophical questions for me, I've decided that at that time it wasn't possible to buy the equity at that former lower price, so in the end I asked 'did you buy at X'. This was a great video with a clear and concise explanation. Thank you!

[@beautifulbritishenglish]

Hi Planetary, yes you are correct to use DID in your question, because you were asking about an action at a specific time in the past. Past Simple is used to describe the time in the past, while 'have you bought', the Present Perfect focusses on the action.

Hi Guilherme, I am glad you found this video useful. Have you ever mixed up Didn't or Haven't before?

[@guilhermessoares94]

@@beautifulbritishenglish Yes, I have. A lot of times actually, hahaha… I’m still learning English, so it’s completely normal I think, but I can see I’m improving every single day and that’s nice. Once again, thank you, you’ve been very helpful.

Hi from Turkey, First time I have learned the difference between the two tense. I hope I wrote that correct :) Thank you teacher!

[@beautifulbritishenglish]

Hello Seda, you got it almost correct. You need to remember to add the plural S to the word tense. You have 1 tense, but you have 2 tenses. OK?

[@xiuwentsai4372]

it is useful❤

Hi sir I/ she/ he/it/we / they all these are we want to use haven’t?? We don’t want to use has’nt for she/he/it right???

[@beautifulbritishenglish]

Yes, for He/She & It we need to remember to change the verb into the correct form. HAVE changes because it is being used in a Present Tense, but DO doesn't change because it is Past Simple. I haven't / I didn't You haven't / You didn't He/She/It hasn't / He/She/It didn't

Thank you sir

My pleasure.

Thank you sir. i haven't completed the video yet😅

[@beautifulbritishenglish]

Keep going. Let me know if you have any questions?

[@AdoBroTV]

I can speak English pretty well, but I never learned English grammar, so now it's time, I think.

[@beautifulbritishenglish]

Why do you think you need to learn the grammar?

[@AdoBroTV]

@@beautifulbritishenglish Because English is not my native language and I really like to see where I make mistakes in speaking or writing.

What is the meaning of didn't do yet

[@beautifulbritishenglish]

i would never say 'I didn't do it yet' because it doesn't sound natural. I didn't do it = this means something was not done and will not be done. I haven't done it (yet) = means you might still do it sometime in the future.

[@هنودهمحسن]

​@@beautifulbritishenglish Thanks

[@imranshkh1993]

Hello Sir, please tell me which one is the correct way to ask for confirmation - Haven't you came to me yesterday? Didn't you come to me yesterday?

[@beautifulbritishenglish]

Hello Imran, the second sentence is correct. 'Didn't you come to me yesterday?'
