Correlation between Russian and English - part 9 - other perspective + Overall conclusion Other perspectives to Perfect tenses Often looking into from different perspective helps me understand things, and to make correlation between tenses helps me also. A don’t use this below for real, but as exercises it was helpful. Perfect tense is translated by shifting participle to object I saw that some people treat past participle as subordinate word to object, like it could be reversible: I have done homeworks / I have homework done / Я имею сделанную домашнюю работу I have done sports / I have sports done / У меня есть законченные упражнения She has dyed her hair / She has her hairs dyed / У нее есть ее покрашенные волосы. But in Passive voice it is a bit difficult. Overall conclusion I tried to explain my understanding of English with using only 4 basic cells instead of numerous amount of cells before. Yes it does not cover conjugation, but in Russian we have it as a separate topic, and since we have quite simple scheme (break-broke-broken-breaking, I will cover it later), we could just leave it for the moment. Do not forget that Do, Is and Have (perfect tense) could be as Auxiliary Verbs, and Is could be as a Copular Verb. So things are going different for them in that cases. And - Yes, you may argue that it is not accurate and there are a lot of nuances, and I give you 146% that i don’t cover them and even don’t know them. But for me this understanding provided me drastic rush from some state to thinking on English directly.
