Hi guys.

As the title says, what is the difference between the following sentences?

1. I didn't have lunch yet.
2. I haven't lunch yet.
3. I haven't had lunch yet.

I just want to say - this site is very useful, so thank you guys for your help.
Cheers

1. is non-standard English.

2. is ungrammatical and wrong.

3. is fine.

Always capitalise I and the first word of every sentence.
End a sentence with a single full stop.

I think that #1 may be fine in AmE. Perhaps an American can confirm.

Thank you for you help


How about : I didn't have lunch.


Is it correct ?

How about : 'I didn't have lunch'? Is it correct ?

If you are talking about a past time, yes.


A: Did you eat yesterday?
B: I didn't have lunch (, but I ate in the evening).

I agree with you .. because my teatcher said to me last week : i didn't have lunch yet .


But I want to make sure is that correct or not ?

I'm still confused is it correct ?

It's correct in AmE but non-standard in BrE. Effectively that means you can use it, but a BrE teacher would most probably mark it as wrong.

I think the correct one should be "I didn't have lunch" (without 'yet') but it brings a different meaning from "I haven't had lunch yet". As our teacher said, British would say "I haven't had lunch yet" and to say the same thing, American would say "I didn't have lunch yet".
I think students should learn what is standard first before exploring any other non-standard styles.

JUST A LITTLE STUDENT.

I see nothing wrong with "I didn't have lunch yet."

"I haven't had lunch yet" is also possible in AmE.

I see nothing wrong with "I didn't have lunch yet."

It used to sound strange to me, but not any more as I hear it so much.
