Difference btw Did and Have

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is Aug 21st.


today, i talked with my respectable senior after school.
it was good time and i hope we can do something together.


after that,
i met with my conversation partner,
he taught me role of english today.
esp the difference btw did and have.
i'll explain later.


after that,
i had to write many articles for my website,
and for Lien.


recently, my website about toeic is getting better
because i fixed some wrong system.
it's getting interesting!
and i have to be sophisticated of SEO by i go back to japan.
it must be fun!


that's why i couldn't come even though friends invited me today.
sorry about that.


tomorrow,
i have to take two lights,
so i have to wake up early,
and i have to be late last class.




===================================
●i learned [did and have]
→have is include future's concern

Aさんが車にはねられました。
ドライバーは逃げました。
BさんがAさんに尋ねました。
運転手の免許証をみたか？
Aさんは見てないと答えました。
BさんがAさんに尋ねました。
警察はよんだか？
Aさんはよんでないと答えました。


この中のBさんの疑問文に注目です。
片方はdidから始まる疑問形、
片方はhaveからはじまる疑問形です。

Did you see the driver's license?
Have you called police?

この違いはどこにあるのでしょうか。
答えは質問者の質問の意図にあります。

質問の答えによりBさんが何かをしたいから、
この場合はhaveが適切。
このcaseだと、ポリスに電話したかを聞いたBさんの意図は、
もしAさんが電話してなかったら、Bさんが呼ぶ。
というニュアンスが入ります。

しかし前者の場合、
もしAさんがライセンスをみていなくても、
Bさんが確かめるすべはありません。
だって車はにげていったのですから。
だからdidをつかいました。

期待する返答によって、
疑問詞がかわるのはおもしろいですね。

i just try to understand.
but my understanding is just 60%"

I thought,"Huh?"


You don't have to translate,
you can't translate, just understand.
and tell me what i said in japanese.

but at that time, i made huge mistake.


i was gonna write Tuesday,
but actually i wrote Thursday.


and then, today is Tuesday,
so i went to campus to meet him.
but he wasn't coming.


he said "we'll meet this Thursday right?"
i thought "OH, MY GOODNESS"


but i couldn't explain what happened

it's not good i think
because it's not polite.
in class, it's ok,
but when i talk with other person,
it's not good.


and one of the reason i use it is it's easy to use
because if i use it,
i don't have to think 疑問形

this is ~~~ right?
but grammatically,
is this ~~~~ ?

i spoil myself,
i have to stop it.
or
i have to get used to using other format.

Yesterday, Aug 1st

I went shopping to buy some summer cloths for my summer vacation in California
because in California, the temperature is very high,
it says that California is the hottest place in the world.
That's why i have to prepare my cloths.
and another reason is just for fashion.
and we talked about
next vacation's plan.

after that,
5:00~8:00?
i went BBQ my agency had.
I was able to talk about my current situation to my senior,
and listen to his one from the senior.
and we decided to have dinner or something in these days.

after that,
9:00pm~7:15am
I went federal party for my other senior i met last quarter.
