English lessons - Can You Please Help Me

I think that it shouldn't be a problem.On the contrary, here an idea for the future:

- we can open a thread called "English lessons".
- Everytime we find some "macroscopic mistakes" in every section of the forum, we can link them in that thread, with the accurate correction.It could be something "didactical", without nobody feels himself offended.

For example we could start with this one :

Xxxxxxxxx in Over 50 reputations section wrote:the forum is flooding with guys who complete lost her minds in digital sex stuff.

her (wrong) --- > their (ok)

I think it's a good idea, and (I hope, with the agreement of Mr. vappiano), I open a thread to stop making mistakes in English.
I had thought to do it some time ago, I jumped at the chance to make it happen.
There may be errors already in the introduction, if so correct me.
Thank you!

Thank you very much.

But it was only an example for my problems with special words or the combinatios with more words.

I have got = [Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig] (grammar)
I got = [Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig] (grammar)

For example;

You would have got a kicked ass when your ass got kicked.

this example got kicked my ass
maybe i understood?

Sorry guys,

I´m from Germany and my englisch isn´t very good but my problem isn`t the differnce between "have got" and "got". My problem is I don`t know what means "kicked ass".

I think the confusion stems from the fact that "I have got" is used both as "I have" right now, as in "I've got wife and children.", and as a more "proper" past perfect: "There is news that John has got a job.", in this case it doesn't technically mean that John has a job (as a "condition", let's say), but the focus is on the fact that he has obtained (found) a job.

I guess that it is a matter of points of view, whether you want to stress the condition, the result or the very action.

The important thing is always to use "I got", without "have", when you have (or you've got ) some kind of time reference such as "Yesterday", "Last year", etc., e.g.: "Yesterday I got a cat." (it doesn't really mean anything but just from a linguistic point of view).

Englishmen can correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: Americans avoid this confusion completely by saying "gotten" as the past participle of "get".

Not being English, that approach is too simple. It doesn't explain when to use which expression.
What I learned at school is "I've got something" means I became owner of something and I'm still owner of it, while "I got something" just says at some time or some place I became owner of something, but I'm not necessarily owning it anymore.
Therefor I never understood when to say "I've got something" and when to say "I have something", as in both cases I'm still owner, but also when saying "I have something" it's unavoidable I became owner in the past.

I admit that my English is very bad.
I'm sorry.
That's why same, I help with a translator to understand well the posts.
The problem is that, on having done it, if after a dot there is no a space, the translator does not translate the words previous and later to the dot.
My request is that, please, you try to put a space after a dot, so that the translator understands the word, and could translate it.
I ask for excuses if this post bothers someone, but I think that many we have this problem.
All that we have problems with English, we will be grateful for it very much.

Request to the moderators who if this it is not the thread, place this post in the thread adapted for one better diffusion.
Thank you.
