Opinion Commentary & Media VI

[William Caresser]

Yeh, but did you drink it or someone else drank it and they became quite drunk drinking it ?

Maybe you should not have brought it after you bought it ?

I heard the guy who drank it brought up that bought stuff.

Let’s not just correct; let’s educate. That being said, it is very hard to explain because we don’t actually learn grammar in a pure sense in the Aussie school system. We are often told the answer but not the reason.

Let’s use the verb drink. Excluding the continuous form ‘drinking’, there are three forms of the verb: drink, drank and drunk.
These are the present, past and past participle respectively.

Eg. Present simple tense - I drink on Saturdays (habit).
Eg. Past simple tense - I drank too much last Saturday (finished past action).
Eg. Present perfect tense - I have drunk enough thanks (past events connected to now).

The above phrases CK wrote are actually abbreviations of longer sentences.

Eg. I must have drunk too much last night. (Present perfect tense with modal verb ‘must’ for deductive certainty).

Eg. I should have drunk less last night. (Present perfect tense with ‘should’ for regret).

Eg. I could have drunk more if I had brought more beer (Third conditional with ‘could’ for regret but with options)

Kind Regards,
DDH

Brilliant. You win. (And thank you for saying must/should/could HAVE!)

Have any of you been invited to post professionally on the Poort board? Could be an opportunity, I feel.

You didn't mean "bought" perchance? You could have done either, just depends on where you were. Just though I'd arks If you'd have done either, you could have drunk until you were drunk and had drunk all your drinks, unless, you didn't need to drink all your drinks to get drunk. If you have no drinks left, then either you, or someone else drank all your drinks. I think. Thanks

I had bought a slab but didn’t bring it all to the BBQ (tight). Yes, bought and brought are correct here depending on whether I was referring to buying or bringing beer.

I helped uncle jack off a horse.

I helped Uncle Jack, off a horse.

A golden oldie. Punctuation matters.

If you didn't bring any beers but still got pissed then you must have got into a few that somebody else brung.

Or bringed.

Once I wondered to myself if there would ever be a bigger pack of w***ers commentating on TV sports than the channel 7 AFL team?

Today I flicked over to 7 and the Bathurst race was on.

My question was answered.

I actually think Crompton, Skaife and Larkham is the best commentary team in Australia, their banter is brilliant and knowledge is first class. Skaifey goes off on occasion but even then, he is at least funny.

I watched the last 4 laps, so prob not enough to really compare, but nothin comes close to shitfulness of BT and crew with their lame arse gags and try hard shenanigans.

I've done the F1 simulator and can confirm it is tough. I highly recommend not going into the bends at warp speed.
