If you watch series or read texts from the 18th century, you will notice that a completely different tense is used there than today.
The "Did I misunderstand it?" of the past vs. the "Did I misunderstand it?" of today.
Why do we use a different tense today? The one we used back then was perfectly correct, wasn't it?

Loading...What is the difference between eres, estés and estás? And how is it correct: For me it is important that you are bien cuidada. For me it is important that you are well prepared. For me it is important that you are well prepared.
Apart from the spelling and grammatical errors. This time, I really sat down and studied. I also paid attention in class and didn't feel bad about it. But I still got a 5.
Hello, I have a question about Spanish. In German this sentence would actually say “no, I don’t have one,” but could I also say “no no tengo ninguna” or “no tengo alguna”?
"Example sentence," he said. "Example sentence," he said. Which spelling is correct? I only know the upper one, but ChatGPT insists on the lower one, and that confuses me.
DESIGNA brand kiosks are now in use in almost every parking garage operated by the municipal parking company, as the Kiel-based system manufacturer from northern Germany has consistently delivered outstanding quality, user-friendliness, and durability. Some locations now offer the convenient option of license plate recognition, eliminating the need to swipe a ticket at the entrance,…
Live languages, i.e. languages spoken by people actively in everyday life, change over time. You can see that when you look at only two generations, Digga. When you hear the Kiddies from today on the street, it’s sometimes really cring like the flexes…
What I want to say: even from generation to generation, there are already differences in language use. They continue in the next generation. In fact, only small steps that you hardly notice.
But taken over 400 years together, there is a very beautiful path that these small steps have taken.
There are also dead languages, such as Latin. The language is still known, but is only used for, for example, technical terms in medicine and biology.
In everyday life, no one really uses it for conversations and so it no longer changes.
In 400 years, head salad will still be called Latuca Sativa Variata Capitata, while people break their head over what we thought with flexen…
Do you feel that language? I’m really sorry, but what the Kiddies are talking about doesn’t matter to me. I mean real German, not English.
Language is only unfortunately not interested in the opinion of individuals and yes, no matter how stupid you feel, it is language.
I also don’t like what’s spoken and it hurts me in my ears, but I can’t change it either.
So this is and if it weren’t like that, we would all probably talk in the old Saxon or something like that.
As far as English is concerned, this is now the case that different languages had special influences, also in other languages, and so many words from these languages were extracted into others. In ancient times it was the Latin, in the Middle Ages and early modern times the French. Now it is English and in the future it could become Chinese.
Machine is Latin, case comes from French, computer from English. You use everyday words that do not originate in the German without notice, because they have already passed into normal language use.
The English itself is a mixture of Latin, old German and French, Italian, Spanish and French are among the Romanesque languages found in Latin, etc.
Languages are not rigid constructs and not self-contained systems. They change and mix. That’s how it’s always been, and that’s how it’s always gonna be, and whoever doesn’t go is hanged…
The perfect is a southern German entity, that is to say the Bavarian and Allemanian. They only gradually spread to the north. In the north, however, preference is still preferred.
Conclusion: the language is changing. But this is also about regional peculiarities and the style. Today, where both pasts are present in the entire language space, the perfect looser sounds, the precedence more serious. News is spreading in advance today, but the perfect language is more widespread – except the North.
Language develops, for then conditions it was so correct, now stop. This depends on the fact that we have opened up the world more and more, ships have traveled to distant countries, have traded, and, of course, other people, languages and customs have also met, all that affects their own language.
Is there an advantage to pull a set in length?
“Is it wrong?” sounds in my eyes somehow better than “Did I get it wrong?”
Language is not an efficient construct, it is not necessarily about advantages.
