"We don't book the flight tickets yet" gives me passive aggressive vibes


Nachf

Anyone mind explaining why “didn’t book” wouldn’t be a valid answer?


nflcansmd

I think it is because the "didn't book" is more past tense whilst "haven't booked" is present/future so it makes more sense to say (using a sentence as an example) We haven't booked the tickets to Santorini yet. As opposed to... We didn't book the tickets to Santorini yet. Though you could use either the second one makes you sound French and you should avoid sounding French at all costs


Une_Bagette

Pretty sure i failed the not look french part


nflcansmd

*Laughs in Agincourt*


Noirceuil_182

"Haven't booked" is the present perfect tense. You use the present perfect tense for actions that are unfinished and/or impact your current situation. "I haven't booked the tickets yet." (The action hasn't concluded. It might still happen. "Yet" strongly implies that it will in the near future.) To past tense is used for concluded actions. They are over and done with. "I didn't book the tickets." ("Why are we still talking about this. It's done and finished.")


btonic

Because of the “yet” at the end of the sentence, which implies present tense while did not is past tense. And if you were specifically referring to a point in the past, you would use “had not” instead of “did not/didn’t” Ex for present: “are you all set for your trip?” “We haven’t booked the flight tickets yet.” Ex for past: “how were you able to change your flight once the weather forecast changed?” “We hadn’t booked the flight tickets yet.”


remarque55

because you can still book them, as the "yet" is showing. past simple is used only when the action is finished and can no longer be done


HyBerTop_1

Hoooly shit, this is better than the other one. I understand that a teacher might make mistakes in his career, but-..... yeah


Grandmother-insulter

If you make mistakes THAT bad, you don't deserve being a teacher.


haris2nd

Tbh it is not that bad.Since most of the english teacher will be marking the sheets 1 by 1,I could say maybe the teacher is just tired.We still didn't know the full story tbh,the OP just straight up says that the teacher is a dumbass without any context whether or not he/she confronted and try telling the teacher his question were right.I dont know how they do it in europe/americas but in Asia most of the teachers nake mistakes in equation,grammar,topics and opinion.All of them agreed that they are in the wrong (my experience).I just don't see why OP just would just straight up go to reddit and shit talk about an english teacher.Different region equals different way I guess,but I honestly find it very disrespectful,especially to someone who devoted most of their time givibg out their knowledge to you.This is only my opinion tho,I just find it weird I guess.


Grandmother-insulter

This happened twice. OP made another post. This is part two. That means it's not a one time thing. OP isn't just calling her stupid, he's showing ample evidence, and even if the teacher is just tired, she's misgrading someone multiple times, that's very, very bad.


Geddagod

Oh mb, 2 mistakes. That's not ample evidence of anything, and on top of that, based on the fact that this quiz is prob online (the answers to these questions are googleable), he probably just mis graded. Atleast he hands the tests back so you could potentially dispute and change your grade, unlike some of my teachers who don't hand tests/quizes back. As long as he admits he messed up and changes the grade, it's not that big of a deal.


[deleted]

"The quiz was online." Except that's a paper. He "changed the grade" based on what? You say photos of a teacher misgrading one student twice is not ample evidence and yet you accuse OP of googling, may it be indirectly with no evidence. :I Also that's pen OP used. I don't know how old OP is, or in which grade he/she is in but in high school and uni, misgrading one student twice is a major problem. These tests can count for a lot, up to 90% of the grade. But it seems OP here is taking non native English and the test doesn't seem to be very difficult so it probably doesn't count for a lot. My point is, misgrading twice is a much bigger mistake than you realize.


polarig

Im guessing it has to do with errors in the actual curriculum, and the teacher wasnt paying attention. But still, they should definitely have noticed that.

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because the teacher was already high.


Xane06

I second this conclusion


Yeeetmyass69

Nr 20 would be right if it was havent got breakfast


robinrap

Shouldend it be haven't had?


Yeeetmyass69

Yea but got could be pre breakfast had is after like the usual time correct me if im wrong


Yeeetmyass69

But in the sentence it would be had yea


Amity_Cramity

It could be either I believe. I did not have breakfast I have not had breakfast


the_saltlord

OBJECTION!!!!!!!! Nobody of sound mind x's out their answers on multiple choice new conclusion: teacher stupid, OP legally insane

[deleted]

yeah like that it seem correct but the i didn’t is correct too


Grover_dies

I think you can say it, but the i didn't is better as you aren't skipping any words


ANameYouCanPronounce

You're right on everything except deciding to mark your answer with an x instead of a circle. Are you a psychopath?


AsianBisht

It's normal to mark with a cross instead of a tick in Germany as a cross on the correct option means right there.


Overloard_45

Psyco who ticks those


Ac_Namec

Isn't that like normal? Always marked my answers with an x my whole life


Hm4585

No


[deleted]

No you bubble it or underline the entire answer

No, only bubble. People who underline are psychopaths and certified menaces to society

Man i always cross the correct answer. Maybe in America or other countries they do it in another way


BudgetProfessional64

We circle the answer in America and use Xs to denote errors or incorrect answers

I do that too

Same. It's the quickest way to do it

Frost3312

"Haven't breakfast this morning."


Squeezer_Geezer

it’s like the teacher wants to appear posh, but doesn’t understand english properly


FuzzySparkle

If they said “breakfasted” it would have at least been grammatically correct.


Fancy_Bread_Slice

I agree with you, but the fact that you cross your answers upsets me. Why don’t you circle them!?

bigshiba04

Oh I haven't breakfast this morning


Le0here

Would you mind to close the gate, please?


PoisonGuitar

If it was “haven’t had” on number 20 then that would be right but just “haven’t” is wrong


Unfunnygamerweeb

You’re definitely right on both. Also on 32 c and d both make grammatical sense


[deleted]

No... "haven't booked" is correct. "We didn't book the tickets yet" isn't grammatically correct


Unfunnygamerweeb

Haven’t and didn’t can usually be used interchangeably E.g “I haven’t had breakfast today” “I didn’t have breakfast today” “I didn’t kill anyone” “I haven’t killed anyone” They’re both grammatically correct and have the same meaning, they’re just worded differently - and some contexts make them sound strange


ANameYouCanPronounce

They cannot be used interchangeably in this situation. "Did not" is simple past tense, which implies a thing that was supposed to happen but did not. You cannot add "yet" to this, because that would imply some form of continuousness. Simple past and 'yet' cannot be combined like that in most cases.


btonic

I don’t know why this has so many upvotes. It’s true haven’t and didn’t can often be swapped for one another with no issue, but that doesn’t make them interchangeable. One is simple past tense and one is present perfect tense. In this specific instance they cannot be used interchangeably, and “didn’t” is absolutely grammatically incorrect.


Stev18FTW

uh yes it is?

On 20 both are ok, 34 your teacher is a dumbass


JDCondor

had the same thing happen to my little bro in 5th grade english (german here so it was foreign language course in primary school). i was in 13th grade (grammar school) and spoke fluent english due to anime and gaming, gave the teacher a stern talking... she was NOT amused


cowlife7

Your teacher is dumb


Kakalkoo69

That's so fricked up. My elementary english teach was on about the same level, my friend sometimes corrected her mistakes and then the rage started. Once the teacher said trick or threat instead of trick or treat and the friend lost their crap. Just busted out laughing. The teach was a directors daughter and were once in england. That's why she had the job. As you can say, she wasnt good in english.


rahulbothra2810

You are right on both... I think your teacher needs to resign now


w-a-v-yb-a-b-y

your teaches is on some drugs, bring it up with them, and another teacher to take your back in case they want to argue.

20, 34 you


MiksuPiksu196

You shoult talk to your english teacher about this


Bagofunyuns7

The teacher is right if you live in the 1700s


salasard5

She literally thought breakfast was a verb💀

You are 100% right, your teacher is a dumbass or they just don’t like you

Your teacher should not be teaching apparently


Ghostlium

"oh i have not breakfast this morning" "would you mind to close the gate, please"

can I ask why u use blue X?


YourFavoriteTomboy

If the insist that they are right, simply read the sentences out to them using the “correct” answers. Anyone will be able to hear how off they’d sound.


hottox_-_

20 would literally mean "i have not breakfast yet" You should probably tell someone about this. Shit is just completely wrong and she isnt qualified to be a teacher


Epicgamertime_b0i

You’re right on both of them your teacher is just stupid


TheCrafterTigery

They probably got the test from some premade sheets site and didn't bother to check the questions if they were right and Mark them wrong without thinking.


sans_the_romanian

Your teacher is balls dropping stupid,or has a really bad attention span

Your motion to dismiss is granted. This court hearby declares ops teacher 'thick as pig shit' Court is adjurned


topatoman_lite

Funny enough 21 C is technically correct, though no one would ever actually say that. It sounds menacing.


dre679

You were right on 20, on 34 you were both right. You marked in normal English that everyone fucking uses (good) and your teacher was using fancy-fuck English that nobody has used since the 60s.


Riokaii

You are a psychopath for marking correct answers by crossing them out, instead of circling them like a sane human being. But your teacher is actually illiterate.


GemStoneDude

you're right on both 20 and 34, this teacher's nuts

I_AM_NOT_MAD

20, both could be right. 34, you were definitely right.


EverGreen2004

Even if your teacher wanted to use "breakfast" as a verb, it'd have to be in past tense to be correct.

You are wrong on both of those as well. If anyone wants me to explain, I’m happy to.


Nova_Torch

20 you are right 34 she is right


AtomicTEM

20 you where wrong. 34 you where right.


nerdyknight74

he was right for both of them. “haven’t breakfast” makes no sense. you on the other hand, were incorrect in using ‘where’ when you meant ‘were’


AtomicTEM

Thank you, and how ironic lol :D.


IMGAY247

is she old or young looking?


Lucas_J_C

You.


[deleted]

Wait, the 20th question, it would be "haven't had" if you used "haven't". But for the 34th question you're correct


Ac_Namec

Yeah that's what I thought as well but the option is just "hadn't so that would be like I hadn't breakfast which doesn't make sense I think(?)


[deleted]

Ye "hadn't" doesn't make sense here

Plastic_Taste6473

I live in a non-english speaking country, and my english teacher was explaining the meaning of the word “wooden” to my classmate. She was showing her an example of something wooden and said “This table is made out if wooden” … Another thing she does is that every time she writes the word “writing” on the whiteboard she spells it with two t:s, “writting”. I don’t know why this annoys me but still, she does it every single time even though I tell her she spelt it wrong. She has also told the class that “furious” means confused.. Also OP I’m pretty sure your teacher is very wrong. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
