The Ultimate Walkthrough To Thank Goodness You're Here

Thank Goodness You’re Here by Coal Supper is a relentlessly British adventure game where, over the course of a single day, you’re dragged into various shenanigans throughout the small town of Barnsworth. If you’re stuck at any point, fear not, because this guide will get you through every punch-filled situation from start to finish.

While TGYH is technically broken up into several sub-stories, most of them are interconnected and dependent upon one another. The game is made less as a series of vignettes or chapters, and more like a constant process of suddenly Mr. Beaning into people’s lives.

As a result, there are several parts of the game where it’s not immediately obvious what you’re supposed to do next. If you’re stuck and need a quick hint to get to the next story beat, that’s what this guide is for.

While some of the steps in this guide can be taken out of order, TGYH is a lot more linear than it initially appears. As you progress through the game, various background elements like the student driver are used to block off certain areas, which quietly funnels you in the right direction. Remember: when in doubt, revisit another part of Barnsworth and see if anything’s changed.

Thank Goodness You’re Here Complete Guide

At the start of the game, you’re initially stuck in your supervisor’s office. Punch his water cooler until the tank lands in the center of the room. You can now push it up to the window on the right and use it to jump out.

The opening credits drop you off in the waiting room in Barnsworth’s City Hall. You have a choice here; you can either go left and begin the game proper, or stay in this room for a full 15 minutes in real time. The latter approach ends the game early and unlocks the Patience is a Virtue achievement.

Otherwise, you’ll end up in Barnsworth’s town square. There are two things that you can do here right out of the gate.

The first is to go straight down and punch Hubert the gardener, who’ll ask you to mow the lawn for him. Use the mower to start a short minigame where you can drive back and forth across the grass. Just go right, then left, until you’ve cleaned up the yard, which unlocks the A Lovely Pair achievement.

Next, there’s another person who could use some help. He’s gotten his arm stuck in a sewer grate, and needs something to grease him up so he can escape. Fortunately, he’s right next to a shop that sells butter, but it can’t open because the clerk’s lost the keys.

Ronny the local locksmith is currently in the nearby pub, and won’t leave to do his job until he’s had his “morning pint.”

Punch the pub’s doors open, then hop over the stack of boxes on the bar and into the sink. This leads you to the basement, where you can punch all the nearby kegs to start the taps flowing again.

This also dislodges a hose on the bottom of the screen. Get near it and you’ll be sucked into a realm of pure beer, for reasons. Just swim up and you’ll eventually be decanted into a pint glass in the pub. Jump a few times to break free, then leave.

When you leave the pub, the butter shop is now open and a drunken Ronny is in the nearby gutter. (If you punch Ronny a couple of times while he’s down, you’ll unlock the Sick as a Pig achievement.)

In the butter shop, go through the “Staff Only” door and cross the kitchen to reach its storage room. Jump onto the shelves and push the big package of butter onto the floor, which automatically delivers (most of) it to the stuck guy outside.

This completes In for a Penny, the first episode of TGYH. Afterwards, you’ll end up right outside the butter shop in the town square. Jump down the new hole in the pavement by the fountain and shimmy along the pipe.

You’ll pop up in the kitchen of Marge’s fish ‘n’ chips shop, where Jasper the fix-it guy will immediately tell you to go find his lost spanner.

When you leave, you’ll be in a quaint shopping area. While you’re here, you can visit the local grocery store, Price Shaggers, and “straighten it up” by utterly destroying everything on the middle shelf. This is optional, but does unlock the achievement A Fine Mess .

Afterwards, go down the street, take a right onto Bumberly Cl., and use the telephone pole to reach the rooftop at the end of the lane. The nearby sweep will “helpfully” jam you down a chimney. You’ll explode into Roy’s apartment, which sadly (for Roy) is a common travel point for the rest of the game.

Hop out Roy’s window to catch up with Hubert, who needs you to figure out why his garden hose won’t work. If you follow the hose, it eventually leads you down the nearby well, where you can punch the right side of the shaft to reveal a tunnel.

Follow it to the local sewer, which in turn leads you to the market stall for Bish, the local fishmonger/tobacconist.

Jump over the shelf into the display case and punch all the fish, one of which will cough up Jasper’s spanner. He’ll show up at once to retrieve it, which also tears a hole in the display case that you can use to leave.

You’re now on one end of Barnsworth’s marketplace, but there’s a massive garbage spill that’s blocked off the street at its halfway point.

If you go into the butcher’s shop next to the fish stand, you can hop into his meat grinder. This sounds like a bad idea—and it is!—but this lets you propel yourself to the far side of the garbage spill via sausage physics.

Here, you can visit Rog’s Veg Hole, but he’ll immediately throw you back out. Ron, on the other hand, immediately dispatches you on a quest to return to Sam’s butcher shop and retrieve some meat.

Due to the garbage spill, you can’t simply walk back the way you came. If you go down the small alley behind the food truck to the left of the butcher shop, you’ll end up on a side path that overlooks the canal.

Go through the hole in the fence and you’ll end up back at Hubert’s garden.

Punch the spigot to Hubert’s left to water his massive tomato (not a euphemism). Your next step is to find Hubert some fertilizer.

Leave the garden via the hole in the fence to the right, which is where Frank the fisherman is hanging out. Cross the bridge, climb the pile of garbage, and leap to the nearby roof. If you jump up and down a few times, you’ll break through the roof and end up in the construction site outside Price Shaggers.

There are two nearby houses. Punch open the door of the house on the right to enter the alley behind it, then go through the ensuing travel sequence until you reach the ladder. Climb it, then hop up and down on the clogged gutter until you’re sent down the pipe. That takes you back to the town square.

Use the hole in the street by the fountain to return to Marge’s chips shop. Jasper can be found in the compartment beneath the fryer, where he offers another mission: go to Price Shaggers and retrieve his screwdriver.

There, you’ll find that Price Shaggers has been overrun by rats. At the clerk’s request, go back to the top shelf and shove the box of rat poison off the side.

This also breaks out part of the ceiling. Jump through it to find a hidden area, which eventually leads to a door that’s being held shut by a determined rat.

Go to the right from here, jumping over the hole in the floor, and punch the wall until it breaks. In this secret room, push the cheese ball off the pedestal. This will distract the guard and let you reach the rats’ most closely guarded secret.

Here, punch the fat rat so it gets out of your way, then hop over the counter. If you jump up and down on the floor behind the clerk, it’ll eventually collapse, which dumps you and Jasper’s screwdriver into a heap on the floor of Price Shaggers. Jasper will automatically show up to retrieve his screwdriver.

Return to Marge’s and Jasper will ask for one more favor: get his hammer from Frank the fisherman. This also triggers the workmen down the street to move their fence, which restores access to Bumberly Cl.

Retrace your steps from here, going back through Roy’s apartment, to return to Hubert’s garden. You’ll find a note from Hubert here that he’s gone to Rog’s shop. The local youths have also wedged a surveyor into the hole in the fence, so you can’t simply talk to Frank directly. Your only other option is to go back down the well.

Cut through Bish’s shop again. You can pause to help him “arrange” his fish if you like, which sets you up for a potential achievement later, or simply leave via the display case.

Once you’re back at the market, visit Sam’s butcher shop. Jump onto the counter and you’ll get all the meat you can handle. Welcome to…the meat dimension.

Walk around the abominable plateau of meat and punch everything you see until it disappears into the floor.

There’s a central structure near your point of entry that’s vaguely Sam-shaped, and once you’ve punched enough meat, it opens into a passage that you can use to leave. If you’re careful to punch every bit of meat before you leave, you’ll unlock the hidden achievement Final Form .

You’ll end up hand-delivered to Ron’s Big Pies with the meat he requested.

Afterward, punch the phone so Ron can make his call. Once Colin shows up with the pie mix, punch the stack until a crate falls on your head, then take that crate with you into the oven. From here, mash buttons until the shop explodes into one big pie, which completes “Enough for Everyone.”

Punch your way out of the ensuing mega-pie to return to the street outside Ron’s. As the cutscene implies, your next stop is Rog’s, where his ongoing terrible day has reached its natural conclusion: trench warfare.

Leap from bushel to bushel inside Rog’s until you reach the man himself. Hubert will take advantage of your distraction to grab the fertilizer he needs.

When you leave Rog’s, a suspicious watch salesman has set up shop in the nearby alley. Punch his table to expose the local criminal Bootleg Bill, who runs down the alley.

Give chase and Bill will escape, but it leads to you meeting the Brigadier.

Bring the Brigadier his requested beans by climbing the nearby building and knocking a can off the highest windowsill. You can now follow the trail of beans into the Brigadier’s lair, at which point he requests that you go find his six gull lieutenants.

The six gulls, thankfully, are all right outside. One is in the alley, while the other five are scattered around the marketplace.

They can be found near Bootleg Bill’s discarded table, on the “Oily Baps” cart, eating a burger by the “Porky Nobbers” trailer, near the garbage spill, and on one of the produce crates outside Rog’s store. Punch each gull or the object it’s standing on to get them to return to the Brigadier.

When you return, the Brigadier will unlock the hatch near his “throne.” This lets you return to the town square via the pub’s basement, where you can take the beer line back to ground level.

From here, circle around through town to catch up to Hubert in his garden. When you arrive, he’ll be struggling with the sack of fertilizer.

If you duck left at this point, you’ll enter the house in the foreground to meet Polly and Paul, which unlocks the hidden achievement Ménage à trois.

Now jump on the sack of fertilizer, and hit the jump button again as you land to get propelled higher into the air. Eventually, you’ll fall back down hard enough to explode the sack, which wraps up the sub-story “Cream of the Crop.”

After that moment of sheer horror, you’ll end up trapped in a flower pot inside Hubert’s shack. Keep jumping up and down and you’ll eventually be able to leave.

Outside, that poor surveyor has now been wedged into the well. This does let you get through the fence, however, and talk to Frank.

Punch open his tackle box and jump inside. He’ll subsequently use you as bait, which lets you retrieve Jasper’s hammer from the riverbed.

Afterward, you can return to the street outside Price Shaggers via the nearby shed.

A bunch of smiling flowers have sprouted in the soil here, so punch them all in the face before you move on. This includes the biggest flower, which is holding the nearby house’s door shut. If you destroy all the flowers, it unlocks the hidden achievement Green Fingers .

When you return to Marge’s chip shop, Jasper’s almost done fixing the fryer. Visit him again, then walk into the open compartment and mash on some buttons for a while. This completes Jasper’s story, “Open for Business,” in perhaps the darkest way possible.

Return back the way you came. You can now jump into an open window to meet a child who needs some milk for his tea. Fortunately (?), someone has just put up a sign outside that offers “normal milk.”

This opens up the farm, where you’ll meet Bessie the cow and her owner. Bessie’s in bad shape, but apparently likes chips, so you’re out to bring her some. Marge’s shop already has a long line at the door, however, so you’ll need to find a way to skip the queue.

Since you destroyed all the flowers, you can use the house at the end of the street to reach Barnsworth’s town square via the alley.

In the aftermath of Marge’s hot oil-splosion, things aren’t great over here, and Jasper has boarded up the hole in the street by the fountain. However, the door to the chicken shop is now open.

Check out the chicken shop to meet a bedsick man who needs help with his shopping. Follow his enormous stretchy arm back out into Barnsworth and clear away any obstacles it encounters, such as busting his neighbor’s grocery sacks.

This also destroys the boards on the hole in the street. When you try to leave via that hole, however, you end up in a confrontation with Jasper, who demands that you run to Price Shaggers for him.

Use the pipe one more time to return to Marge’s shop. Talk to her and chop up some potatoes, which she happily fries up for Bessie. You will automatically be dropped off outside with the fresh batch of chips, only to be abducted by a gull.

Pilot that gull to the left until it’s kind enough to drop you directly into Bessie’s face. As a side effect, this dispatches you to what we can only call the “cow dimension.”

Here, punch three pieces of wreckage until they reassemble into a door. Go through it and jump into the tub to complete “Milk Shy No More.”

Afterward, you’re on Bumberly Cl., but can no longer get back to Price Shaggers due to an unfortunate traffic accident. You’ve got no choice but to once again use Roy’s chimney to reach Hubert’s shed in the garden.

Use the hole in the garden fence to return to the street outside Price Shaggers via the river path. In the back of the store, Florence will let you into the staff area. Use her net to hook one of the bubbles, which lets you fly up to the roof and beyond. You’ll end up randomly completing “Still at Large.”

The ensuing cutscene drops you off in the parking lot near Marge’s shop. Return to Price Shagger and open the staff only door to let the bedsick guy in. Run along the shelves pushing cans into his cart until he finds one he likes.

From the back alley, make one last trip through Roy’s apartment to reach Hubert’s garden, where a pack of snails are threatening Susan. While you can simply jump into the well and ignore her in her time of need, taking a run around the garden to smash all the snails first unlocks the achievement Shell Shocked .

Leave the garden via the well, which eventually takes you back through Bish’s shop. If you pause here to help him arrange his fish for a third and final time, you can keep punching the tail directly in front of Bish to unlock a secret achievement, Done Up Like a Kipper .

Finally, return to the town square and go to the bedsick guy’s flat. Push the hot soup into his face to finish his side story, “Breakfast in Bed.”

This also spurs the finale of Thank Goodness You’re Here, where the whole damn game goes full WarioWare for a solid 10 minutes. Once you make it through this surreal gauntlet of minigames, you’ve completed Thank Goodness You’re Here!

How to Finish Your Homework

While studying can differ for different age groups, many of the things that get in the way are the same. Whether it's your environment or time management skills, it easy for things to discourage you from finishing your homework. With a little organization and help, your homework can become approachable.

Managing Your Time

• For instance, try setting aside a time you know you can work well such as an hour or 2 before dinner, or if you're a night owl, after dinner.

• Work in hour blocks, with 50 minutes spent studying and 10 minutes spent taking a break.
• It can also be helpful to move around when you are taking your break, especially if you are working at a screen. Go for a walk outside to get your blood circulating and enjoy some fresh air.
• You might also want to eat a healthy snack on your break to improve your focus. Avoid junk food and choose something like a handful of nuts, a piece of fruit, veggies, or a small portion of cottage cheese.

• Identify which assignments are worth the most points for each class. Most likely these will take the longest to complete. [5] X Research source
• Consider how long you have to do each project, and if possible, see when the assignment is introduced. Oftentimes, primary and secondary school classes do not have syllabi, so it might be harder to plan out an entire term, but if you are in college, you will most likely have a syllabus with at least a partial course schedule. Knowing how long you have to complete an assignment will help you prioritize which assignments to do first. You can also ask the teacher how long you have to complete an assignment. [6] X Research source

• Use highlighters or stickers to mark which assignments are most important.
• If you're using an online or mobile schedule, create alerts or notifications for the projects and any time-sensitive steps for those projects.

• Don't let a big project overshadow the smaller assignments you need to complete!

• Assignment outlines can help you visualize the necessary tasks to get the assignment done.

Creating a Productive Work Environment

• A desk or table would be a better location than a couch or a bed.

• Turn your phone off or on silent (not vibrate). It might be best to put the phone out of sight, or in another room while you work, as the temptation to text or get on social media can be as much of a distraction as actually using social media.
• Use an app that blocks social media. There are plenty of applications out there that can help block social media and other distracting sites (such as shopping or gaming sites). [10] X Trustworthy Source Pew Research Center Nonpartisan thinktank conducting research and providing information on public opinion, demographic trends, and social trends Go to source

• Use a white noise app to block out noise.
• Use earplugs or noise-blocking earmuffs. [12] X Research source
• Work in a quiet place, such as a library or a home office, if you have one.
• Avoid listening to music while studying. Studies have shown that although listening to music while studying lowers overall performance, this does not affect everyone equally. [13] X Research source However listening to music before studying has been shown to improve performance on cognitive tasks. [14] X Research source

Using Your Resources

• If you're too afraid to ask a teacher during class, see if you can stay behind to ask your questions.

• First, contact your school to see if there are any after-school tutoring programs. While not all primary and secondary schools offer tutoring, a vast majority of universities do. If your school does not offer tutoring, they may know of other resources for you to contact.
• Then, contact your library to see if they offer any tutoring. [18] X Research source
• In some areas, there may also be free community tutoring programs. Contact your local community center for more information.
• There are plenty of private tutors out there as well, but they can be costly (ranging from $20 to $100 an hour). [19] X Research source You can find tutors online through a number of websites, such as Craigslist or Angie's list.

• If you need to work at a library after school, ask your parents or search the web to find your local library.

English phrases: Thank God, Thank goodness, Thanks to you

Everyday English Speaking Course  

Hi students, it’s Shayna from EspressoEnglish.net. This week is the holiday of Thanksgiving in the United States… so in today’s lesson, you’ll learn useful expressions with the word THANK or THANKS.

I’ll also teach you about a couple common mistakes – so make sure you watch the whole video so you can avoid the errors.

Thank God / Thank goodness

Thank God is used when we are really thankful and happy for something, especially when we are relieved because something very bad could have happened, but it didn’t happen.

For example, imagine you have a friend and your friend got into a car accident, but fortunately nobody was injured. You could say, “Thank God no one was hurt in the accident.” You were expressing your great relief that everyone is okay and no bad injuries happened in the car accident.

You can also use the phrase  thank goodness in these situations. You could say, “Thank goodness nobody was hurt.” or if you get lost in a city but you have a cell phone so you can call for help, or find some directions then you can say, “I got lost but thank goodness I had a cell phone, so I was able to get to the right place.”

Both thank God and thank goodness are used in similar situations, when something bad could have happened but didn’t happen, and so you are happy, you are thankful, you’re relieved.

Imagine that your friend is driving their car and it’s a very rainy day, so the roads are slippery and dangerous but your friend arrives safely at your house. You can say, “Thank God you arrived safely.”, or “Thank goodness you arrived safely.” to express that great relief.

Now I see some students, especially my Spanish and Portuguese speaking students sometimes make the mistake of writing thanks God. That’s actually incorrect, I know we have a similar expression, expressing thankfulness to God in Spanish and Portuguese, but in English we actually write, thank God and not thanks God.

Thanks to (someone)

We also have the expression, thanks to someone and this expression is used in a slightly different situation.  Thanks to someone is used when we want to give the person credit for something good that they did.

If you have a big project at work and your co-worker helps you a lot and because of your co-worker the project is finished on time, then you can tell this co-worker, “ Thanks to you, the project was finished on time.” You are giving that person credit for the good thing that they did. Or you can use it to give credit to someone else, not necessarily the person that you’re talking to.

A good example is that, my dad taught me how to change a car tire. If I have a problem like I have a flat tire when I’m driving then my dad, he taught me how to change the tire. If I get a flat tire and then because of my dad’s teaching, I can change the tire myself. Then I could say, “ Thanks to my dad, I was able to change the tire.” I’m giving my dad credit for the good thing he did in teaching me.

Let’s review. Thank God and thank goodness are used when you are very happy and relieved that something bad didn’t happen. Then thanks to a person is used for when you want to give that person credit for a good thing he or she did.

I’m thankful / I’m grateful

You can also use the phrases, “I’m thankful” and “I’m grateful” to express thankfulness and gratitude in general. Use these phrases to express how happy you are for the good things in your life.

We usually use, “I’m thankful” and “I’m grateful” with the preposition for and then a noun. For example, “I’m thankful for my friends” or “I’m thankful for my family.” Let’s imagine that you got an opportunity to study in another country and you’re really happy. You could say, “I’m grateful for this opportunity.” These two phrases are used to express thankfulness and gratitude in general.

One final mistake to avoid, look at how we spell these words thankful and grateful . Don’t write two l’s – it’s only one l at the end of thankful and grateful, and don’t get the word grateful confused with the word great. We have the word great, it’s spelled G-R-E-A-T. The word grateful it’s pronounced very similarly but it’s spelled G-R-A-T-E-F-U-L.

Learn phrases for speaking English

Now you know a few different phrases for expressing relief, giving credit, and talking about gratitude in English.  As you can see, these expressions are similar, but we use them in different ways.

You can learn a lot more phrases inside my Everyday English Speaking Courses. In these courses, you’ll learn what to say when shopping, traveling, eating at a restaurant, talking with other people, and in lots of other common situations.

Well, if you enjoyed this video please like it and share it with other English learners – and I’d love if you could leave a comment saying one thing that you are thankful for grateful for, to put these phrases into practice. Bye for now.

"When you ......... your homework, you can go out"

The options for this question are

• have finished
• will finish
• had finished

I chose the option 1 but the book says it is wrong. Why can't we use "finished" here?

If we use doesn't it make any sense?

• word-choice

The following options sound natural to my (American) ear:

When you finish your homework, you can go out.

When you have finished your homework, you can go out.

Thus, "have finished" is the best choice on the test question.

This sentence describes a situation that will occur in the future. At that time, you will have finished your homework. You will then be allowed to go out.

Starting the sentence with "When you finished" or "When you had finished" would describe a situation in the past -- not in the present nor in the future. "You could go out" or "you could have gone out" would be appropriate for describing a situation in the past.

How to answer“Did you finish your homework?”

Consider a scenario in which my friend, Jack, did NOT finish his homework. If I ask him the question “did you finish your homework?”, what is the correct way for Jack to answer this question? More specifically, can it be answered objectively with a Yes/No?

I feel like my friends would just say “no” as in “no, I didn’t finish”

But I feel like the correct answer should be “yes” as in “yes, you’re correct, I didn’t finish”

I know the easiest way to avoid this vagueness is to just add the “___, I didn’t finish” but I feel like most people don’t elaborate like that.

Which timeline illustrates “I have finished my homework” most accurately? [duplicate]

I have learned Present-perfect in school. But I felt that foreigner used in different way of Present-perfect. What is the right tense of this sentence?

Please choose the right picture that shows the exact meaning of the sentence i.e. I have finished my homework . Is it No.1 or No.2?

I heard that the Present-perfect tells the nearest past. The blue part of the picture shows the tense of the sentence. I think No.2 is the right picture that shows the right meaning of the sentence (I have finished my homework.) The sentence below include the nearest past of Present perfect tense. Am I right?

• present-perfect
• perfect-aspect

• related: 1. How to correctly use the present perfect tense 2. Simple Past vs. Present Perfect: “was” vs. “has been” 3. Past simple vs present perfect –  Mari-Lou A Commented Sep 22, 2015 at 9:38

Neither is right or wrong. That is not the distinction which the present perfect captures.

I have finished my homework.

is stating that the event in the past has some present relevance . Sometimes the present relevance is that it is very recent (your picture 2); but other times it will have a different significance.

For example,

Do you want to go out? No, I've got my homework to do. That's a pity: I've finished my homework, and I want to do something.

doesn't necessarily mean that I have just now finished my homework: I might have, but it might be that I finished it this morning. The present relevance is that now I am in a state of having-finished-my-homework, whereas you are not in that state.

In fact the significance of aspect (in English, perfect vs. past, or continuous vs. not continuous) is often not in the events described, but in the way you are, at that moment, choosing to talk about the events.

• I've been looking at the OP's timeline graph and it's not that bad really. But I'd say that neither one of them is right or wrong.

Thank Goodness You're Here - Woodland Creature Location Guide

Thank goodness you're here - closed door location guide, hades 2 is giving people brainrot, quick links, how to unlock patience is a virtue, is the secret ending any different.

Thank Goodness You're Here might be a relatively short and linear slapformer, but that doesn't stop it from having more than its fair share of secrets to uncover and trophies to unlock.

Here are all the Woodland Creature locations in Thank Goodness You're Here.

While most of the secrets that you can uncover in Thank Goodness You're Here have to do with exploring Barnsworth and interacting with a certain number of things in town , there's one very interesting one that requires you to do basically nothing at all . Not only does it let you skip ahead to the ending, but it also awards you with a Gold Trophy called "Patience is a Virtue" .

Unlocking this shiny Gold Trophy takes very little effort at all, but it's something that most players are going to miss due to how specific its requirements are. Once you start Thank Goodness You're Here, you'll need to jump out of your office window and onto the bus to Barnsworth, where your little lemonhead protagonist will find himself waiting in the mayor's office.

While here, the receptionist will tell you that the mayor is currently busy and that you'll need to sit around and wait if you want the chance to talk to him. For most players, this is where you'd jump off the seat and walk out the door to cause mayhem around a little English town, but to get the trophy and secret ending, you'll need to sit still for around 15 minutes or so .

For the trophy to pop, you'll need to remain in your chair for those 15 minutes. Don't think about hopping out and standing around, as it means the trophy won't trigger.

Once you've done that, the receptionist will welcome you in to talk to the mayor, skipping directly ahead to Thank Goodness You're Here's ending and giving you the Patience is a Virtue trophy as a reward for waiting around. It's very similar to the sort of secret ending you find in Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 5, and it's nice that Coal Supper thought of such a detail.

In truth, the ending itself isn't actually any different than the one you get if you play the whole game and go to the mayor's office when it's all done, but it is a faster way of seeing the credits and does mean you end up causing a lot less trouble for the citizens of Barnsworth.

To knock or not to knock, that is the question.

Hello everyone: According to “Practical English Usage”, “Just now” when used with “present perfect tense” can only be used in mid-position. Does this mean that the following sentence is wrong? I have finished my homework just now. Thanks  

"I have just now finished my homework" is perhaps more usual, but your sentence is not wrong. You might put the "just now" at the end for greater emphasis, for example.

The thread "Just Now": with perfect and simple past. discusses this point. In the above sentence I'd equate "just now" with "a couple of minutes ago". I'd say "I have just finished my homework" or "I finished my homework just now." I agree with the textbook. I wouldn't say "I have finished my homework a couple of minutes ago"; in the same way it sounds odd to say "I have finished my homework just now".

High on grammar said: But according to "Practical English Usage": "I've telephoned Ann just now" is wrong. Click to expand...

When just now means 'a few moments ago', two positions are possible: a in end position, usually with past tense I telephoned Ann just now. Click to expand...

Myridon said: From the version available for searching on Amazon.com: It doesn't say "have" is wrong, but " usually with past tense". It doesn't bother me. Click to expand...

"I've telephoned Ann just now" sounds perfectly correct to me. It sort of implies that the call with Ann is currently in progress. Maybe she's waiting on the other line. Is this a UK/US thing? I'm the third (or fourth) American in the thread to find it acceptable, and three English folks have said it is wrong. Michael Swan appears to be from the UK as well.

Thank you all for your answers. Now I understand that there is a difference between AmE and BrE in this area of English grammar .

Myridon said: It doesn't say past perfect is wrong. As I pointed out before, it says past tense is usually (usually, not always) used when "just now" is in mid-position. It doesn't say what other tenses can be used but it certainly implies that other tenses can be used. Click to expand...

I think Grendelo and Loob are right: It's yet another of the many confusing BE/AE dichotomies.  

Parla said: I think Grendelo and Loob are right: It's yet another of the many confusing BE/AE dichotomies. Click to expand...

Mechanical rules of the kind that say you cannot use (or you can only use) this tense or that form with this phrase, or in that word order, or in reference to such and such a topic, always strike me as misleading, for two reasons. First, they are talking in terms of the outcome or result, not in terms of the principle or reason which explains the result. Secondly, they lead learners to think that if they memorise enough of such rules they will be able to use the language correctly. That is a back-to-front approach. The only true road to correct usage, in my view, is to understand the reasons for it. This means learning basic principles and applying them appropriately in each new context. The possible contexts of language are so varied that mechanical rules which tie one form of words to one type of situation will inevitably fail from time to time. A stopped clock is guaranteed to be right twice a day; mechanical rules of the above kind are guaranteed to be wrong at a comparable frequency: and in each case, there is nothing to tell you the difference. Having got that off my chest, what do I say about the present issue? There are two key questions: first, the difference in usage between past simple and present perfect; secondly, the meaning of the phrase 'just now'. The present perfect places a past action in a present context, thus explicitly linking it to the present. The past simple places a past action in a past context, thus explicitly distancing it from the present. It follows from this that if 'just now' is being used to express a connection with the present, then the present perfect is appropriate. On the other hand, if it is being used to express a certain distance from the present, then the past simple is appropriate. My impression is that Michael Swan takes it for granted that 'just now' usually does not refer to the present, but in fact expresses a distinct time gap which separates the action in question from the present.  

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. ________ I have finished this exercise. Thank goodness! It was so boring. Together Exactly At last Just

Answer : b explanation: first, let us get familiar with the meanings of the words in the options: --together means : companionship / association --at last means : finally / in the end --exactly means : precisely / absolutely / completely / to confirm or agree --just means : recently / simply / exactly / barely / expressing agreement reading the sentence, we know that the speaker has "finished" his homework, that it is completed. the suitable expression to complete the given sentence with is "at last", which means that finally / in the end the speaker completed his homework and it makes sense. after putting in the efforts and despite finding it "boring", the speaker has finally completed it. so basically the activity that the speaker was involved in is now over. "together" here does not make sense and therefore is inappropriate for use here. "exactly" again in inappropriate for use because when placed in the beginning of this sentence it is grammatically incorrect. though it could be used immediately before the word "finished". "just" could have been used had the blank been before the word "finished", but when used in the beginning of this sentence; it would be grammatically incorrect. therefore the correct complete sentence is: at last i have finished this exercise. thank goodness it was so boring..
