Task finished

Hi,

I have assigned a task to a team member. After a few hours i am asking him whether the task is finished or not. Which question should I ask?

Have you finished the assignment?

or

Did you finish the assignment

Can you explain the grammar point?

In this context, there is not a huge difference, and sometimes the questions can be interchanged

Thank you Clive.

Can I say

Have you finished effort logging?

for the task 'logging effort for the last week'

Please correct errors.

Thanks Clive.

I have one more question

Can I say

Have you finished logging effort?

for the task 'log effort for the last week activities'

Please correct errors

Hi,

First, it may not be the right expression.

What do you mean if you say 'Tom logged effort'?

Clive

Thanks Clive.

I understood my mistsake. The question should be

Did Tom Log Effort?

or

Have Tom Logged Effort?

Hi,

The question should be

Did Tom Log his Effort?

or

Have Has Tom Logged his Effort?

The form of both questions is OK, although the meanngs of the tenses are different.



You have too many capitals.



I don't understand what Tom did. Did he keep a record of how many hours he worked on a task?

CliveI don't understand what Tom did. Did he keep a record of how many hours he worked on a task?

Yes.

Clive
Did Tom Log his Effort?

or

Have Has Tom Logged his Effort?

What is the importance of the pronoun 'his' in the questions?

Hi,

'Effort' needs a modifier.



It's for the same reason that you can't say Tom used pencil or Tom wrote report.

What is the importance of the pronoun 'his' in the questions? It tells us that Tom logged his efforts and not someone else's efforts.

Thank you very much Clive.
