Some sentences using past tense and present perfect In my life, I have already learned English three times. First, I learned it at school for 5 years. For the second time, I learned it approximately for a half a year on my own. Yet I hadn't get further than at the A2 level. Now, I have been learning English for almost a year and a half, again by myself, and I have already achieved the B1+ level.

Some sentences using past tense and present perfect

In my life, I have already learned English three times. First, I learned it at school for 5 years. The second time, I learned it approximately for a half a year on my own. Yet I didn't get further than the A2 level. Now, I have been learning English for almost a year and a half, again by myself, and I have already achieved the B1+ level.


Hello Karel,

Good practice and just one error with the tenses. Well done.

In my life, I have already learned English three times. First, I learned it at school for 5 years. For the second time, I learned it approximately for a half a year on my own. Yet I didn't get further than   the A2 level. Now, I have been learning English for almost a year and a half, again by myself, and I have already achieved the B1+ level.

Didn't and hadn't are both contractions - one for "did not", and one for "had not". In this case, the phrasing "did not" would be appropriate.

'Did' and 'had' are both past tense forms of verbs, but 'did' is used to refer to something that has already been performed, while 'had' is used to refer to something that one has possessed. 

You did not get further than the A2 level; or: I didn't get further than the A2 level. 

I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any more questions!
