Anonymous  +  508374 Fri, 02 May 08 07:11 AM Hi, there! Here are my questions, please: E.g.: 1) How much does this glasses cost?         2) How much did this glasses cost?         Now, is it also possible to say: How much has this glasses cost? If so, what's the difference in relation to example nº 2 ?   In the sentence: Are there any eggs in the cake? Is it also right to ask: Are there eggs in the cake? If not, why? In the sentence: There are some sugar in the bowl. Can I also say: There are sugar in the bowl ? Any difference? Thanks, Nique Anonymous Grammar

This is clear in the past, so forget about "has,"  which is used only for recent events, say: I've just bought a pair of glasses. Also:   There IS some sugar in the bowl.   Marius Hancu Joined on Wed, Apr 26 2006 Veteran Member 11,673 Grammar
