I always got bored in french. It didn't get interesting until AP french

It's "get", Ambellina, not "got". Thou shalt get thy grammar correct.

 

[Alexithymia~]

Actually... she was using past tense. So, "got" was right.

Not it would be 'got' as I'm no longer in high school.

"got" was right? I'm Irish, so we may speak differently than you.

 

[Alexithymia~]

Ehhh.. I don't think it matters whether you're Irish or English.
"Got" is past tense. "Get" is present tense.. Is it not?

 

[Twisted Cuteness]

Maybe he didn't read the post all the way.

Verb conjugations do not change, in any dialect of English.

I hate when I embarass myself like this XD

 

[Alexithymia~]

I enjoy it when people embarass themselves like this. >:3

 

[Witch]

It's no biggie ^^;; I wouldn't bother worrying about it

 

[Eucliffe]

It's no prob.

I tend to use wrong terms anyways, even though my mom's an editor and all XD

/though I'm a grammar geek when it comes to some things...

 

[Cheesymitten]

I always seem to get my grammar wrong.
However I don't seem to do it in other languages.
Strange.
It's like my body is telling me to stop English >>>

It's sort of right. Spoken English will always be the derelict child of the written form.

I think it's called assimilation? The type of thing where a person might confuse the use of "swing" and "swung" (or how people misinterpret "bring" "brang" "brung" and "brought" and "bringed", by that I mostly mean children, but it is a learning process for them) to that affect anyway.

Though to "get" something does imply that it is still being done.

But enough of that. XD

 

[Cheesymitten]

"brought" and "bringed",

But enough of that. XD

Eheh, I said brought the other day =x
My mum scolded me on my bad grammar and told me it was something else.. I can't remember what though.. >>

 

[Feign]

Brought would be the correct form for past tense. There is no future, except putting something like "will bring" in front.

 

[Cheesymitten]

I will have brought you back those flowers I promised?
How about? ^

 

[Feign]

I will have brought you back those flowers I promised?
How about? ^

Denotes past, but still doesn't make perfect sense (perfect passive maybe?).

You'd more likely say "I would have brought you back" which would be imperfect.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Wow, I would have expected a topic like this in the Fan Fiction Lounge XD

English is a very tricky language, indeed. And since I used to be the "grammar nut" back in my fan fiction days, if I slipped up, there were a dozen people waiting to pounce and call me out on it.

 

[Angela]

Lol I'll probably never be able to post in the fan fiction section since English is my 3rd languages, I think it's about good as it gets now.. :3
