4 in several books and tv shows, there have been characters who say et instead of ate (as in, i et dinner yesterday at 6:00) Why do we use the simple past but not the present or future in the following expressions I looked it up on wiktionary, which defines it but doesn't say where it's used
Sophie Rain Onlyfans
Et (colloquial or dialectal) simple past tense and past participle of eat
In bre, ate is sometimes pronounced /et/, and the cambridge dictionary gives this pronunciation
Even if ate is pronounced like eight, there may well be subtle differences. The home news silly square … why did 6 cry Because 7 ate 9.— gina d'amato, 9, milltown … as i'm of a certain age, i tend to blame all jokes like this on the anonymous geniuses at dixie cup corporation, who produced a line of riddle cups in the 1970s, and again in the 1990s
So far, i haven't been able to verify that the onus belongs. In a similar way, some expressions of time encompass the present Just and just now do, and so normally do today and this afternoon (assuming it is still this afternoon). In our native language we have a word for saying that you can't eat something because you ate too much of it and now you don't like the taste of it (for some time).
In short, what is the difference between the following sentences
I did eat my lunch an hour ago I ate my lunch an hour ago They both are past tense Honestly, i'm confused between them.
Is have ever eaten correct or do i have to use the past simple i ever ate, since the process (of eating) is already over If i won't refer to any date in the past, which tense is the correct one Nonetheless, have ever eaten sounds correct to me But sometimes the usage of past simple and simple perfect just confuses me.
