Done vs have done #1 (permalink) Thu Nov 03, 2011 15:36 pm   Done vs have done
 

Hi.

Can somebody tell me the difference between these two sentences:
I'm done with doing something and I've done to do something
In which situations they are used.
Please give me some examples of using them.

Do these two sentenses mean the same?

I'm done with my homework.
I've done to do my homework.

Thanks.

"I'm done with (something)" means "I've finished (with) (something)". Sometimes it has the connotation that you are fed up with something and so not going to do it any more.

"I'm done with my homework" = I've finished my homework
"I'm done with work for today" = I've finished work for today

"I'm done with (doing something)" is used in the same way:

"I'm done with playing this stupid game" = I'm not going to play this game any more because I'm fed up with it

"I've done to do my homework" is ungrammatical. "I've done to (do something)" is always incorrect in the way you are trying to use it.
