- Oh you poor thing. you are like me and need to know exactly why it is so. It's just not good enough if it doesn't make perfect sense, rite?! I will try to help you with this one. I had my car repaired. If I did it myself, it would be either; I repaired my car, or I have repaired my car. ( I did something and I have done something are the same. ) The only difference is " I have done something" is more grammatically correct. Heaps and heaps of people use both or either. Next. I have had my car repaired. This is also correct but because it ads an extra word, it just takes too long to say, so people generally omit the " have ". I need to have it done by tomorrow. This means, obviously I know, something needs to be done by tomorrow. If you take the "I" out of it and replace it with you, we, they etc, you will see that the emphasis is on the fact that 'it needs to be done by tomorow.' The 'I' is merely telling us that you yourself are going to do it. Had is past tense. He had, I had, we had, they had etc. have is present tense. I hope I'm not confusing you. Examples: I had my hair done today. Meaning: I went to the hairdresser and got a new hairdo. I had my teeth done yesterday. I went to the dentist yesterday. I have a train to catch. I must go or I will miss the train. I have too much to do. I am too busy. Don't overthink things. Good luck.0 votedAugust 27, 20150
- This is how I would use any time and whenever in day to day conversation. "When can we meet?" "Whenever you like, I am free all week. " " Ok, how about tomorow? What time suits you?" " Any time is fine. I am free all day. " Here is another very typical conversation. "Thank you so much for helping me. " " Not a problem, any time. Whenever you need me, just ask. " Hope this helps.0 votedAugust 27, 20151
- Here's how I would use these words in day to day conversation and in different situations. Completely/ complete: something is complete/ finished. There's nothing more to do. I am completely blown away by how well he sung. Absolutely/ absolute: something is at its best/ worst/ most. That is absolutely perfect! Entirely/ entire: whole/ nothing is missing. If something is missing, I would say, That's not entirely true. Utterly, as the last person said, seems to be connected to emotion or feeling. I am utterly disgusted by his behaviour. Totally, is used a lot. It's the easiest for many people. It fits with most situations, even all of the above although it may not be the most descriptive or emotion filled word, it will still work. Hope this helps.0 votedAugust 26, 20151
