Excellent James! Why is future perfect connected to the past? If I say I will have finished my hw by 8 PM. Does it mean I started studying before now? The way I feel, is that I might not even started working on the hw!! This really confuses me, since it’s nothing I’ve learnt, but I feel it’s that way. Thank you!!

James, nice to meet you guy!
I have watched your classes and of another teacher s either. You are amazing, really very good teachers. I´m from Brazil but I´m not there because I’m working and studying in Chile.
Here I study translation from English to Spanish and it’s a very interesting challenge.
Well if I finish the school I’ll be able to speak 3 languages.
Thanks for your explanation. I hope someday to be in Canada to visit this beautiful country.

Bye,
Marcio

Thank so much for your help, it is really important for me!!!

Sunday, December 4th 2011Reply to this comment

Hello James,

I have a question in regard to using “have” in sentences like these:

1. You have to have it done for tomorrow.
2. We need to have our car repaired for Monday.
3. I think I should have the letter sent at the latest tomorrow morning.
4. They should have had it done two weeks ago.
5. I had to have it done for yesterday, while you still have plenty of time.

Are they (any of them) grammatically correct?

I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks :)

Sunday, December 4th 2011Reply to this comment

    the frist you have tow event you should know it
    1-present perfect .
    2-present simple .
    these senteces are present simple
    because there rule say
    sub+have /has +obj+p.p
    for example
    I have my car fixed
    thiss means i pay money to some one to fixed my car .
    not me that fixed my car
    and and the event is present simple .
    ————————————-
    If i said
    I have fixed my car .
    that means i fixed my car not elst someone .
    and this event is present perfect
    thanks …
