sir, could you please tell me the difference betweeen

have you finished your work?

did you finish your work?

[learnamericanenglish]

@samskhanuk -- The first sentence, "Have you finished your work?" is in the present perfect tense, and the other sentence is in the past tense. Do a search on my videos and you should find one that explains this difference.

teacher i will like to know whats the different between "want" and "wanna"

thank you!!

[learnamericanenglish]

"wanna" is used in spoken English. It's "want" and "to" together, so when someone speaks English very fast, instead of saying, "I want to get a pizza," it sounds like "I wanna get a pizza."

sir, i'm sorry i could not explain my confusion clearly. i know the difference b/w the past tense and present perfect tense. i watched (have watched??) your video that explains the difference b/w "i have lived in this apartment since 1992" and "i lived in this apartment in 1992 ". i understood that these 2 sentences do not mean the same.i've one question..do the following 2 sentences mean the same ?

"have you finished your work?"

did you finish your work?

i was doing some exercises on past tense and past perfect.. i came across to one question..that goes:

I told him i didn't know who (steal)_____ his pen.

i answered:

i told him i didn't know who _stole__ his pen..

but the correct answer is

i told him i didn't know who had stolen his pen..

how is that possible?...

could you please help??.. thanks
