Anonymous  +  316895 Thu, 18 Jan 07 06:35 PM Are you finished? Are you done?  Are you finished it? Are you done it? Have you finished? Have you done? Have you finished it? Have you done it? Please, can anyone tell me which of these sentences are incorrect and why? It seems to me that Are you finished/done it? and Have you done? are incorrect and the others are okay, but I need to know what really is incorrect and not just what feels or sounds wrong. Thank you!

Are you done [with ] it? – Without [with] to modify the sentence, they are incorrect. Have you finished [your assignment]? Have you done [your assignment]? Otherwise, the context is incomplete. Have you finished it? Have you done it? If you have previous context, and the person knows what you are referring to, it is fine. Otherwise, you may have to explain what “it” is.   Goodman Joined on Mon, Nov 7 2005 Senior Member 3,816 The name says it all!

	CalifJim  +  317020 Thu, 18 Jan 07 11:54 PM Are you finished? Are you done?  Are you finished it? Are you done it? Have you finished? Have you done? Have you finished it? Have you done it? _______ Are you finished? Have you finished?  Are you done? All are equivalent.  The third is much less formal. Have you finished it? Have you done it? These aren't equivalent, but they are correct. CJ CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member 22,463 "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche
