Hi,
'What have you done with?' can often mean 'Where have you put something?' 'What have you done to? usually suggests What changes have you made to something?

No, Luby. Not really. Unless you referred to the work in general.
Have you done? = Have you finished your work? (Americans may say: Are you done?) :?
Have you done with is a phrasal verb meaning finished with.
Have you done with the suger, pass it here.
For your expression to sound better I would move 'correct'.
Have you done correcting you picture. Present Perfect Continuous.
Hope this helps. :) |

Not too sure about 'done with' meaning exclusively 'finished with' which, as I said, can also be 'have put somewhere'. Not too sure about

For it to be Present Perfect Continuous it would have to be either 'have been correcting' or 'have been doing'.
Note the spelling of 'sugar' and you would need to say: 'your picture'.

Hello Alan, according to your explanation, is 'have you done to your picture' correct? I am asking this to you because in our country almost all people say like this 'have you done with your work'? So please tell me should I correct them? |

Hi Harsh Chowdhary.
I have heard 'have you done with your work'? before. It is definitely familiar for me. but 'have you done to your picture' no. what does it mean? Does anybody know? _________________ Global Marketing |
