[Grammar] Grammar = Pauly's topic.

Hello everyone who reading this message.
I have created this topic and here I am going to write me English problems.
I am English student about one years and still I can't talk in English fluently because grammar is too hart for me.
So first question is "Do really English speakers everyday when they talk use the Present Perfect tense?"

I can't understand where is difference...
For examples:
I have left or I left.
I have done my home works or I did my home work.
I have finished my work my work or I did my work or I finished my work.
Where is difference between these sentence?
Might I stupid that I can't understand where is difference? ;DDD
I will not want to be robot I just wanna speak as normal English speaker nothing more.
Please answer to each my question.
That's it for this time.
[PAY ATTENTION PLEASE] If I made any English mistakes please correct it or write it down then I will write it correctly)

Thanks everyone who helped me.

But you can express your thoughts in such a way that others can understand you. Well done. :up:

Yes. English speakers often use this tense.

I can't understand where is difference...

I have left or I left.
I have done my home works or I did my home work.
I have finished my work my work or I did my work or I finished my work.

There are many nuances here and it will be difficult to explain them all. I will try to give you a first, general idea of what the difference is. You shouldn't think that what I'm saying is the whole truth.

When you say

I have left.

I understand that you mean

I left and I'm still not back.

When you say

I left.

I don't know whether you are back or not. I only know you left at some point.

When you say

I have done my homework.

I understand

I did my homework and my homework is now done.

When you say

I did my home work.

I only know that you did your homework. But maybe you did your homework a week ago? Maybe you have a different homework now and you haven't done it yet?

Might I stupid that I can't understand where is difference? ;DDD

No, it's difficult. Especially for us, Balts and Slavs, because we have nothing like this in our languages!

Sir thank you for help... :up: +++Respect

Not at all- the present perfect can cause difficulties for students for a long time, and even advanced learners can get it wrong. Also, to complicate things, different variants of English use it differently sometimes- American speakers may use a past tense sometimes, where British speakers would use the present perfect. :crazyeye:

Two points to note, Paulys:

1. You will find that shorter posts attract speedier replies.

2. Don't address birdeen's call as 'Sir'. She is female. I know this because I clicked on her avatar (the picture of the bird) and read that she's preparing to become a grandmother.

(How's that going, BC?)

Thank you for asking. Well, I put this statement there about a year ago and nothing substantial has happened since. But there's no one to blame. My daughter and her husband are trying very hard. I hope they succeed, and not because I want a grandchild, but because she wants to be a mother so much.
