if i want to ask whether the working hours ends, how to ask?can i ask "are you done working?" *woman* (##24.109.44##) that is perfect *woman* (##24.109.44##) have you finished work yet? *chocolatestaff* (209.94.214) have u left work as yet? would be a better construction
how come "when do you get off of your work?" is accepted but "have you got off of your work?" is wrong? should it be "have you gotten off of your work?" ? *woman* (##24.109.44##) you don't get off your work *chocolatestaff* (209.94.214) have you gotten of work? is appropriate. the things is, the work does not belong to the person *woman* (##24.109.44##) the grammar in the sentence is wrong .. but the content would be understandable
if the grammar is wrong, please correct it >> "when do you get off of work?"? *woman* (##24.109.44##) when do you get off work "have you gotten off work?" is correct ? *woman* (##24.109.44##) yes
should it be "have you gotten (of) or (off) work?" *woman* (##24.109.44##) off *chocolatestaff* (209.94.214) "off" is the sentence "have you gotten off work?" correct? *passionlover* (12.10.219) nope. have you finished your work is correct *passionlover* (12.10.219) no we never use "get off" work . we use get off when we want somebody to let you go if he is disturbing u . or we say that to ask someone to come down. get off the bus or get off the boat *ken* (##207.179.184##) she is right. we say get done or finished *walrus* (##216.10.58##) "get off work" is an acceptable phrase *s* the part which makes it time-sensitive is the "have you" part. typically, "have you" means that something has occured in the past, but it's like the recent past when you use it in the same phrase as "getting off work". otherwise, you could say .. have you ever been to kl? and there really wouldn't be a time-sensitive element to it. |
