Real English® 51 - Have Done vs Did

[@ibing2008]

Love this part...especially for maria...so clever

[@tango2olo]

To all Non-Native Speaker's Of English (like me :-) )... Get a copy of : "English Grammar in Use" by Raymond Murphy. Just Go through this and that will take care of all your Grammar Questions about Tenses like has, have, had, did, going to, will, etc. and their relative differences and also all explanations are supported by good example and Exercise to practice. Great Book indeed!!

> He or she quickly speaks and > it's dificult to hear him or her. > It's dificult when he/she says > "what have you done?". That's wht it's called "Real English" > I have to train my ears!! haha Listen listen listen - to real people speaking normally, and Have Fun!

[@realenglish1]

"Did" is your key word indicating the past - an event that is finished, or in the past. Example: What did you do yesterday? I ate! "Have done" is complicated for learners of English. The important point to remember is that it is for actions that might continue: there is no "yesterday", no indication of the past. Example: What have you done today? I've eaten! (And I will eat again!!)

Michael Marzio Thank you very much Mr.Michael

[@coldwindblowing]

He is incredble with what he does for us!!!!

[@realenglish1]

@tango2olo Good point! We have also been using this book at my school for a very long time. Also, don't miss the Real English grammar exposés on the Real English lesson site.

[@realenglish1]

Hi Rinwhr, Most of the videos have lessons which illustrate and explain the verb tenses, but I haven't made the exercises for this video yet. I will do the lesson for this one soon, and I will tell you when it is on the Real English site.

[@realenglish1]

@DarkheartThe The question is "When did you two meet?" The reply from Maria is "... we were born together. This is my "womb mate". This is a play on words, or a pun: the womb is the nontechnical name for uterus. The uterus is a hollow muscular organ located in the pelvic cavity of female mammals (such as in women) in which the fertilized egg implants. This is where babies develop. Do you get it or do would you like more explanations?

[@realenglish1]

That's a good question, since the past tense is not logical, but both sentences are certainly correct. I will send you a message to your inbox because it is too complicated to explain in 500 letters and spaces.

[@realenglish1]

The difference between "have done" and "did"? Let's simplify: 1 - Q: What have you done this morning? A: I've shopped (She might not be finished shopping). 2 - Q: What did you do this morning? A: I shopped (the shopping is finished).

[@realenglish1]

Thanks for your comments.

[@thedailyenglishshow]

I lived with a family in Blois too! Wow, what a coincidence.

[@realenglish1]

@groundzerobuild GOOD Question! Really. I've had a pain in my back for a couple years, but I've had it all my life! But there are a million other usages. This is just a common one

[@realenglish1]

@tivrfoa Well, did you find the transcript?

[@realenglish1]

Hi Sarah - I thought you had spent some time in France before settling in Japan... And on a different note, I sincerely wish I had the time to volunteer to do the French version of your scripts. The Daily Englisg show deserves all the collaboration it can get.

[@realenglish1]

Hi tivrfoa, Go to lesson 51 on the Real English site for the video transcript... Best wishes, Mike

[@realenglish1]

Check out the Video lessons on the Real English site.

[@ashley2000ish]

very educational! we love english!! (greece) ;-)

[@empee3216]

I enjoyed this video. Thank you for posting these, and the other good lessons. Was the last interviewee actually her sister, hence the pun? That was pretty clever. I cannot imagine a Russian speaker accidentally mistaking "w" for "r" which admittedly impressed me! I would have never thought of a "womb mate" to describe a sibling, or even, in symbolic ways, a very close, long-term friend.

[@impCaesarAvg]

@groundzerobuild . Two weeks ago, I had had a pain in my back for three weeks. I thought it would go away, but it didn't. Now I have had a pain in my back for five weeks.

[@txanorro]

I couldn't understand when he ask with "have done". He quickly wondered them. I'm learnig english and these videos are very helpful.

[@TheLizitsa]

Can be confusing. As the reporter asks people in Present Perfect "What have you done this morning?" And many answer in Past Pimple "I came,i ate...."

[@realenglish1]

+TheLizitsa -- That's also real English. People living in the US are more likely than those in the UK to respect the basic differences between the past simple and the present perfect. It's a nuance of difference, in most cases after all, and only important in the US in specific contexts.

[@lesgrisout]

Hi , if the action continue in present perfect , why not using simple present then ? That's crazy to use some past tense to explain something that still goes on no ? Thanks for explaining :)

[@phmagnani]

Great Video, thanks!! Obrigado! :)

[@ingajadeh]

thank you for the lessons ^^

[@realenglish1]

Hello ! Your job is very good. I thank you . If you can put text in every video, thank you for all. PS: :please correct my message if there is a mistake. How's that to begin? thank you again

[@realenglish1]

And what about the PDF?

[@OmarGarcia-cm9ez]

nice work!

[@AdrianCalgary]

Well, lots of similar examples, which is great, but no explanations of why people use "did you" vs "have done"

[@korras21]

hey, I love the outfits:)

[@coldwindblowing]

I love the women hairs!!!! 😍

[@musictrance7013]

the question depends on he context of time if the q is asked in the afternoon the answer will be in simple past but if the action happend just recently the present perfet is used

[@tivrfoa]

@realenglish1 yes sir. thanks for your attention.

[@villagevaana5119]

Awesome,and I wish you had better give text on the screen please

[@polvosdetalco]

Thanks! I have understand it. I konw the diferent between have done and did. I mean that I can't understand the interviwer, the person who make questions. He or she quickly speaks and it's dificult to hear him or her. It's dificult when he/she says "what have you done?". I have to train my ears!! haha Good Bye!!

[@DarkheartThe]

I don't understant the last question, when she answered they were twins. somebody who tells me please.

[@realenglish1]

Anyone in particular?

[@tivrfoa]

@realenglish1 do you mean if I found it? yeah, it's very useful resource. Thank you sir. =)

[@osdagapa]

[@HotPepperLala]

I always have trouble using between 'did' and 'have'

[@flashgautam3640]

Me too

[@mLOProductions]

This morning I wasted my time watching this video and laughing for no reason. Yesterday, I wouldn't have understood why I watched this video.

[@tivrfoa]

What happened with the closed captions? :( I want the subtitles (crying ...) It would be good to have these videos with CC.

[@tacianasantos9295]

#inglêswinner

[@jonypaty]

@larc9898 Sorry I didn't write correct. This is the right "I was in bed all day because I was sick"

[@soaresvaanessa]

where's the subtitle?

[@ЕлизаветаШульц-с5э]

Мне нужен перевод на русский всего видео , субтитров нет. Кому не сложно, можете перевести ?

[@A07889533]

跪求翻譯!!!

[@xerias8647]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

[@Cliroxs]

it seems to me she/he says " what did u done..." :S

[@mariafernandaflorespalacio1716]

Joe has shopped with his wife. True ?

[@nataliart4802]

Yes

[@realenglish1]

Both "shopped" and "has shopped" are correct. "Shopped" is for the past and "has shopped" is for the present perfect.
