    Thanks a lot for your reply. But the territory of the USA is so enormous. The pronunciation is different, I suppose. Would you recommend me a website, where I can find some exampeles?I explore the Americans dialects and it's very important for me to realize what the real problems arise by communicating with each other.

    Americans dialects Recently I've read, that there isn't a state language in the USA. And there are a lot of different dialects in this country. Do Americans understand each other?

    Thanks a lot for your answers. 

    It's really so interesting for me! It's like a puzzle!

    Thanks Richard for your comment. I really made a mistake by using "met" instead of "read". Because of  the Russian language....Sorry...

    Am I right?

    Recently I've met in a text such sentence: 

    Since I sold my bike, I had walked to school every day.

    By using Past Perfect in this sentence the narrator means: first he began to walk to school, and then he sold his bike because he didn't need it anymore. 

    Am I wrong in my conclusions?

    Maybe it would be better to say: 

    Since I had sold my bike, I walked to school every day.

    thanks for your adwice and fo your answer! Now I realize why some sentences in our student's books can be written in different ways. Many of such books aren't written by native speakers. For  speaking without mistakes you should think as a native speaker, I suppose. It isn't easy  to do but at the same time  so interesting!

    Thanks a lot!!! The example about grandfather and grandmother is the best! but the line between these two tenses is so thin for me.....I wander do English native speaker always speak correctly? Have they got such difficulties by using tenses?

    help by using tenses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Could evryone explain me why I've done the mistake in the following sentence:

    So, the task is "put the verb in the correct form":

    <em> How sad! George (dream) ... of going to California before he died, but he didn't make it. He (see, never) .... the ocean.</em>

    <em>
    </em>

    <em> </em>My answer is :

    How sad! George (dream) has dreamed of going to California before he died, but he didn't make it. He (see, never) has never seen the ocean.

     

    And the answer key is:

    How sad! George  dreamed of going to California before he died, but he didn't make it. He  never saw the ocean.

     

    WHY  PAST SIMPLE!!!!????

    I've always thought that we use past simple when there is a specific time.There isn't the specific time in the first part of this sentence. And the action didn't finish in the past. That's why I choosed present perfect.

    And there is a word "never" in the second part of this sentence. Iit's  experience in his life!But the correct answer is past simple......

     

    When we should use present perfect and past simple?

    Quastion: expression of time in a complex sentence I've read recently the following sentence: "After Anna learned about it, she decided to rent a different apartment". I am confused about its gramatical structure. I suppose the first part of this sentense should be in Past Perfect "After Anna HAD learned about it..." Because this action happened before her decision to rent a different apartment. But at the same time the action can be simultaneously: she learned and decided at once. Can we use in that case in the both parts of the sentence Past Simple?
