Grammer Please?

Question

when do I say: I visited there, and when do I say: I have visited.
when do I say: I was there, and when: I've been there, and:
when: did you?/ have you? did not/have not
I really don't get it, please don't LOL, it's not my Language

Answer 1

Examples:

I visited there last year (past tense)
I have visited there once. (past perfect)
I was there in September; I was there from September to May.
I've been there before.

Did you visit there last year? Have you ever been there?

Answer 2

First of all, you're looking for help with grammar, not grammer.

Here are some example sentences:

Person 1: Have you been to Ireland before?
Person 2: Yes, I have visited Ireland before, in fact, I visited my relatives there last month.

Person 1: Have you been to Ireland before?
Person 2: Yes, I've been there, I was there all last month.

Person 1: Did you go to Ireland last month?
Person 2: Yes, I did. Have you ever been there?
Person 1: No, I've never been to Ireland.

In general, you say "I (verb)ed" when you're talking about a specific time you did it, but if you're just saying that you have done it before, you'd say "I have (verb)ed".

For example:
I walked to the store yesterday.
I have walked to the store many times.

It's the same idea with was/been.
For example:
I was washing the car when you called me.
I have been washing the car for many years.

Again, it's the same idea for did/have.
For example:
Person 1: Did you go to the movies yesterday?
Person 2: No, I didn't go to the movies yesterday.

Person 1: Have you ever gone to the movies?
Person 2: No, I've never been to the movies.
("I've never" takes the place of "I have not ever", because it would sound strange to say "No, I have not ever been to the movies.", although it would technically be correct.)

So, the difference in all of those is WHEN you're talking about.
For a specific time, use (verb)ed, was, did (or did not)
For a general time, use have (verb)ed, been, and have (or have not).

Good luck! I hope this helped some!

Answer 3

Why do so many people say grammer instead of grammar???

Answer 4

You can say either. They're pretty much interchangeable. Why can't you be like the Chinese guy who once asked me the answerable question, "What's the difference between 'look' and 'see'?"

Answer 5

When you learn how to spell Grammar then ask the question again.
