Grammar
"to get on" in different tenses
Hello there,
I've been wondering what is the difference between the following sentences:
1. How have you been doing at work?
2. How are you doing at work?
3. How did you do at work?
I'm not quite sure when I should use which of them. I assume that all of them are correct. I'm not even sure if I should say "I've been wondering..." or "I was wondering..."
Thanks!
