he just leave

Hi there.

Once i went to my friend's flat, his flatmate said" he just leave". Should he said" he just left"?

My friend's flatmate is a New Zealander and the english is his first language.

Can someone explain it to me ?

Thanks

Probably an "oral typo". Yes, 'left' is correct.

"He just leave" is incorrect. "He just left" is correct. I have no idea why a native English speaker would say "he just leave," unless he was trying to "simplify" his language for the benefit of a foreigner. (Obviously, that's not a very good idea.)

I'd say 'He has just left'.

That's possible too, Loojka.

That definitely happens sometimes. The father of a German friend of mine used to do that wit
