I see...Also, I have had Peroni and I tend to savour it because I'm eating at the same time. Always drink Peroni with food, it's a bit bland on its own.

<------- here's a poker face ![]() What game are you dealing...and is it limit or no-limit? ---------- Nio, you ran into an irregular verb. For regular verbs the participle for the perfect tense is the same as the simple past form, but this is not true of irregular verbs. Examples: To Watch (a regular verb): Present tense - I watch Simple past tense - I watched Perfect tense - I have watched (participle "watched" = simple past form "watched") Pluperfect tense - I had watched Future Perfect tense - I will have watched Future tense - I will watch To See (an irregular verb): Present tense - I see Simple past tense - I saw Perfect tense - I have seen (participle "seen" NOT simple past form "saw") Pluperfect tense - I had seen Future Perfect tense - I will have seen Future tense - I will see "To go" is also an irregular verb, so your confusion is understandable. Most of the basic verbs are irregular, unfortunately; however, this isn't something unique to English. *old memories of high school French - German was easier for verbs, but the cases!* I should say, though, that I have met many people who only know English, and cannot communicate in that language as well as you do. ---------- LOL... I need a beer...please tap a Guinness, my good sir

Same as in all the other contries that speak poker : "Tapping the Aquarium" = Frightening the Fish...never a good idea, if you're looking to make money Whoops...I understand your confusion and apologize...I should have posted, "Tapping the Aquarium, eh?"

There's the problem. Damn irregular verbs! Afrikaans has a few but our grammar is much more straight forward than English. Example: Present tense - Ek kyk ("I watch") Simple past tense - Ek het gekyk ("I watched") Perfect tense - Ek het gekyk ("I have watched") Pluperfect tense - Ek het gekyk ("I had watched") Future Perfect tense - Ek sal gekyk het ("I will have watched"/"I will be watching") Future tense - Ek sal gekyk ("I will watch") Alas, this talk of grammar is making me a bit mentalistic...

Forgive the grammar...I saw an opportunity to clear up a misunderstanding and acted upon it. -------------------- *slips behind the bar and taps a Guinness, slips back to stool, and leaves payment on the bar* Omni, ya gotta pour if you want the tip ![]() *waits for the Guinness to become perfect, and then enjoys the first mouthful* Is the poker game still on? |
