Teach me English (in the morning)?

Question

My first language is Japanese.

Is the following term correct??

Did she have to get up early in the morning?

What do you think? something strange.
（In the morning ）　means every moning, so that sentence implies, she had a habit of waking up in the morning in the past.
She doesn't wake up in the morning now.

I think, Did she have to get up early this morning? or Did she have to get up early in the morning yersterday?

What do you think?

Can I say: in the morning yestaday? or yesterday's moning?

Answer 1

you are correct.. the sentence of 'Did she have to get up early in the morning' implies past habitual action.

'Did she have to get up early this morning' implies a singular event which happened that morning.

Both are correct usage with a slight difference.
When you say 'Did she have to get up early this morning,' you are only concerned about the singular action that happened this morning.
You have no idea about her habit of waking up early, and you just want to know if she woke up early this morning.

The next sentence (Did she have to get up early in the morning yesterday?) implies that you know about her habit of waking up early, and you are curious if she woke up early that morning.

Yesterday's morning is incorrect.

Answer 2

I would think that it is correct. And that the you should say 'did she have to wake up early yesterday morning?' That would make sense.

Answer 3

>Did she have to get up early in the morning?

This question would imply tomorrow morning in common english usage. More specifically, it would be people talking about her after she had already left the room or went to bed.

For usage for the current day, you could use many different phrases:

Did she have to get up early this morning?
Did she have to get up early today?
Did she have to get up early?

for the past:

Did she have to wake up early yesterday morning?
Did she have to wake up early yesterday?

Also get up, and 'wake up' are near interchangable, I prefer the term 'wake up', it just sounds better to me.

I am currently learning Japanese but am only a beginner.
じゃまたね！

Answer 4

Did she have to get up early yesterday morning

Answer 5

I think what you are after is:

"Did she have to get up early yesterday morning?" That would be correct.

Other options, thoughts:

If you are referring only to the morning of the day you are currently in then it would be:
"Did she have to get up early this morning?"

If you are referring to all mornings then:
"Does she have to get up early every morning?"

If you mean tomorrow morning then you would say:
"does she have to get up early in the morning?" (this could also refer to all mornings in general in the future)

Hope that makes sense - have rather tied myself into knots!!

Answer 6

there are a lot of answers here from good-intentioned folks who don't know what they are talking about. I think your main question is whether or not "in the morning" (and I guess " in the afternoon/evening" and "at night") can only be used to refer to habitual action. The answer to that question is no. we use it to refer to lots of different times

Answer 7

"Did she have to get up early in the morning?" is correct. "In the morning" does not refer to "every day" but can have differen meanings ranging from...

1) "Did she have to (past) get up early in the morning (today)?"

2) "Did she have to (past) get up early in the morning (on the day mentioned in previously in a specific conversation)?"

3) "Did she have to (past) get up early in the morning (on a regular basis)?"

To expand on #2, a conversation might discuss "Sally" and relate how "Sally" had needed to walk her dog on Tuesday. #2 then means, "Did she (Sally) have to get up early in the morning (on Tuesday)?"

In answer to your second question, "in the morning yesterday" is correct, "in yesterday's morning" is incorrect.

Answer 8

morning can mean 1 or many
yesterday morning
