"…didn't finish…yet" versus "…haven't finished…yet"
If I worked on something yesterday but it was not finished, which tense should I use?
I didn't finish it yet or I haven't finished it yet
- present-perfect
- transatlantic-differences
- present-perfect-vs-simple-past
- 1 Per Difference between 'haven't …yet' and 'didn't… yet' , the presence of "yet" at the end of both these alternatives makes a huge difference to how "acceptable" they are. So unless you think it's somehow important to your question about didn't finish/haven't finished , you might consider editing the word out. – FumbleFingers Commented Nov 2, 2012 at 22:46

If you worked on it yesterday, stopped yesterday before finishing then, and don't want to say anything else about whether you will or can continue or not, but more likely that you are done for good (like a one-time test), then:
I didn't finish it.
If you worked on it yesterday, stopped yesterday before finishing, and want to imply that you are still planning on working on it, then:
I haven't finished it.
or with a bit more emphasis on the expectation of continuing
I haven't finished it yet.
The sentence
*I didn't finish it yet.
sounds off, because "didn't" isn't particularly continuous, but "yet' implies an expectation or possibility, and so also a continuing act.

- 1 "I didn't finish it yet" is very odd in UK English. I have the impression that it is rather more normal in US English, but I don't know: can anybody comment on this? – Colin Fine Commented May 11, 2011 at 11:27
- 1 In US (spoken) English, didn't is used much more frequently that havent't done . Also, in US English you almost always say I don't have rather than I haven't got . – Phonon Commented May 11, 2011 at 16:28
- 2 @Colin Fine - Not normal in US English either (at least to this USAite.) – MT_Head Commented Jun 9, 2011 at 0:20
The sentence "I did not finish it yet" is incorrect because of mismatched tense. The phrase did not finish is in the past tense, while the word yet indicates that the task is ongoing (present tense), which creates a contradiction.
The sentence "I have not finished it yet" is correct because the phrase have not finished is in the present tense and can be safely used with "yet". In fact, the word "yet" is not strictly necessary. "I have not finished" would carry the same meaning.
- I believe this explanation is slightly misleading. You can say I did not start it yet. It's not the past tense/present tense conflict that is wrong here, but the expectation that the task is not ongoing. – Peter Shor Commented May 11, 2011 at 10:45
- Strictly speaking "I have not finished it" is in the Present Perfect tense: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_perfect . Present would be "I finish" or "I do not finish". – Lunivore Commented May 11, 2011 at 10:46
“I haven't finished it yet” is definitely a much more natural-sounding version but “I didn't finish it yet” might also be acceptable (though a bit more awkward).
- It's certainly true your first version is more natural-sounding, but as @e.James indicates above, the second version is a bit worse than "awkward". Most native speakers would say it's just plain "wrong" - even if they couldn't explain exactly why as eloquently and succinctly as @e.James does. – FumbleFingers Commented May 11, 2011 at 17:34
- Anecdotally, the second sounds completely natural to this native speaker. – recursive Commented May 11, 2011 at 18:27

How can I tell my boss I have not been successful in completing an assignment?
I received an assignment almost 2 weeks ago that I have not been able to complete, due to lack of support, both from inside and outside my company, despite reaching out for assistance both in and outside the company (no response came from outside). This task was allocated to me by a coworker, who did not give much direction, even though it was known this is my first time trying to complete this type of task. Now the boss is asking for an update, and I have nothing to report, because it is not complete. Furthermore, it can't be completed today because the outside support I need is closed. How do I word an email saying this isn't done because no one helped me through the roadblocks that came up but I will fix it first thing in the morning by going down to the other company in person?

- 7 "nothing to report" is sort of backwards relative to the situation. Reports of the form "I have encountered difficulty X in doing task Y, and I am not sure I can resolve it soon enough to finish on time" are especially important and urgent. Much more important to get to management than "Task Y is on track and expected to be completed on time." – Patricia Shanahan Commented Feb 20, 2017 at 19:35

Now the boss is asking for an update, and I have nothing to report, because it is not complete.
It sounds like you have plenty to report.
It's unfortunate you waited until now to talk about it. If you had mentioned the roadblocks when they occurred, perhaps your boss could have helped "unblock" them.
The best you can do now is to explain where you are in the process now, what you plan to do to complete the assignment, and when you think you will actually be complete.
- 1 I'd also add to this if you need help, say so . It is unlikely they expect you to do this with no support, but it is likely that they expect you to ask for help when you need it. – Kat Commented Feb 20, 2017 at 22:34
- My shortest report was "Boss, I think I f*ed this up really bad" (I knew I can use this word with this boss). Because I had no idea what exactly went wrong. Failure report is still a report, like Joe says. Oh, and my boss was really glad to hear this promptly, when we still had enough time to figure out what went wrong, and deliver on time. – Mołot Commented Feb 21, 2017 at 10:40
The OP hasn't explicitly indicated a deadline has passed, but regardless, if there are problems which are blocking completion the boss needs to know as soon as that becomes a known risk.
Even blowing a deadline occasionally is OK as long as everyone knows it's going to happen in advance and isn't blindsided by it. One of the most important unwritten rules in the workplace that causes a lot of new people pain is " don't surprise your boss ".
To answer your question about the email:
- First, its usually better to give bad news in person rather than email if that's possible and timely.
- Blaming anyone else even if it is entirely their fault would be considered bad form at this point because you could have addressed it earlier. Much better to accept full responsibility and a willingness to solve the problem.
- It's not the end of the world, just say what you've done so far, what the problems are and what help you need to move forward.
Email your boss (better, talk to them in person or by phone), and tell them exactly what you've put in this email. But, you should also tell them what you have done. If the job is not complete, did you manage to do any part of it? Even if you're just reporting the people you've contacted and the research you've done, that's more concrete than saying "I did nothing...". Maybe next time, give your manager a status report by email each Friday afternoon, so they know of any blockages in advance.

Teaching Students About the First Flight to the Moon
Teaching students about if christians are catholic, teaching students about jean arthur: an enlightening journey through the life of a hollywood icon, teaching students about reefer madness: understanding the history and dispelling the myths, teaching students about the meaning of “culminated” in a sentence, teaching students about mug shots: a valuable lesson in civics and law enforcement, teaching students about family words list, thank you messages for gift, teaching students about the downton abbey film: bringing history to life, teaching students about the league cup: a comprehensive guide, 21 strategies to help students who have trouble completing assignments independently.
Are you looking for strategies to help students who have trouble completing assignments independently? If so, keep reading.
1. Create classroom rules: • Remain on-task. • Complete assignments quietly. • Request assistance when needed. • Remain in your seat. • Finish tasks. • Meet task expectations. Examine rules often. Praise students for following the rules.
2. Establish time limits for finishing tasks .
3. Praise the learner for performing tasks independently.
4. Get the learner to prioritize tasks by importance (e.g., task A must be done today, task B can be done today, and task C can wait until tomorrow).
5. Organize their surroundings to enable task conclusion (i.e., make sure the learner’s tasks are on their capacity and ability level , be sure that instructions are clear, and keep frequent interactions with the learner to enable success).
6. Urge parents to set aside and enforce a consistent period at home for the learner to finish homework . All family members should work on tasks (e.g., correspondence, balancing accounts, reading, etc.) during this time.
7. Give the learner structure for all academic learning activities (e.g., specific instructions, routine (schedule) format for tasks, time limits, etc.).
8. Praise the learner for beginning, working on, and finishing tasks .
9. Make sure that directions, explanations, and instructions are delivered on the learner’s capacity and ability level .
10. Assess the appropriateness of giving the learner tasks that require copying if the learner’s capacity and ability level make it impossible for him/ her to finish the task.
11. Let the learner have additional time to finish tasks when working independently.
12. Give the learner a selection of tasks and require them to select a minimum number of tasks to perform independently (e.g., present the learner with 10 academic tasks from which 6 must be finished that day).
13. Explain your expectations to the learner for the successful conclusion of tasks .
14. Give a written list of instructions for a long-term task.
15. Plan leisure activities at the end of the day. Make participation in these learning activities dependent upon the conclusion of tasks .
16. Connect with the learner’s parents to disseminate information about their child’s progress. The parents may reinforce the learner at home for finishing tasks independently.
17. Assess the degree of task difficulty concerning the learner’s capacity and ability to perform the task.
18. Be firm, fair, and consistent, expecting the learner to finish tasks. Do not let the learner fail to finish designated tasks one time and expect tasks to be finished the next time.
19. Praise those students in the classroom who finish tasks independently.
20. Urge the learner to follow a less desirable task with a more desirable task . Make the conclusion of the first appropriate to perform the second.
21. Consider using an education app to help the student sharpen their organizational skills. Click here to view a list of apps that we recommend .

Grammatical Dissection of “it is not completed yet”
Look at the following sentence.
It is not completed yet.
I think the sentence is in passive voice as the word “completed” is a verb. So, if I add an object in the sentence, it would be:
It is not yet completed by him.
In active voice:
He did not complete it yet.
What is the sense of “yet” here?
Also, if someone has assigned me a task, and I haven’t completed it yet, should I say “It is not yet complete” or former?
- Yes, "completed" is a verb in your example. But it's ungrammatical: a passive VP is required as in "It has not been completed yet". The nearest active equivalent is "x has not completed it yet". "Yet" means 'up to the time of the utterance'. Note that "completed" is only an adjective when it's a pre-head modifier of a noun, as in "Please submit your [completed application] within 14 day", and even there a case could be made for analysing it as a verb. – BillJ Commented Oct 7, 2021 at 16:46

Complete can be either a verb or an adjective. It would be more natural to say
It is not complete yet (adjective) - or It has not been completed yet (verb, passive). He has not (I have not) completed it yet (verb, active).
In all these cases, yet means up to and including the present time.
The phrase is not completed can be a passive verb phrase; but if it is, it is present simple, and so it would refer to an act of completing, not a resulting state; furthermore, since it is present simple not present continuous, in most contexts it would refer to something habitual.
So as a verb phrase, It is not completed means something like It does not (generally, or normally) get completed - something that might be said, but not very commonly. I haven't been able to think of a plausible example of it.
However, like many past participles, completed can also be an adjective, describing the state that results from completing. In that sense It is not completed yet is fine: it is not yet in the state "completed".
Complete is more common than completed as the adjective, but both are po9ssible, and in this context I can't find any difference in meaning.

How to Finish Assignments When You Can’t
Crunch time is coming, deadlines need to be met, essays need to be submitted, and tests should be studied for. As a student who’s waiting for the end of crunch time, you’re looking for all the right ways to cut corners while being ultra efficient with your time and energy. But sometimes racing the clock you’ll come to a realization that this mountain of a task is insurmountable and it seems almost impossible to accomplish. But at this low point is exactly where you shouldn’t settle with an incomplete assignment or missing work. There are workarounds and “life hacks” that can help pull you out of this sticky situation.
Homework and education are very important, so finishing your assignments should be something that’s on every student’s mind. Here’s some ideas to get you started on your path to getting your assignments finished:
Ask for an Extension
Lots of students find themselves in this awful situation that seems impossible to do. Even if it is your fault for being a bad student or lazy, it’s worth a try to confront your professor or teacher and ask for an extension – as long as you actually complete it. Teachers and professors understand that the point of homework isn’t to give you something to do, rather train you and give you extra practice on materials you learn in class. Just know that it’s not their responsibility to give you an extension and they are not obligated to give you points for your late or missing assignments. But do them anyway – and have your teacher check your work so they know you’re good for the work even though it’s late.
Ask for Help from Classmates
Your classmates are a good resource for you to help you finish your assignments, late or on time. They may even just give you answers – as long as you are polite about it and aren’t pressuring them to do so. They are helping you when they aren’t required to, and they’ll be more inclined if you are also reliable. The worst position to be in is to be the student who helps others but doesn’t receive help. Help could even be in the form of understanding the assignments and learning from them, kind of a tutoring situation. But again, it’s important that your classmates aren’t obligated to help you, so be grateful for any help you receive.
Prevent This Happening in the Future
We don’t want you to constantly be stuck in this seemingly impossible situation – so we urge you to think about your assignments carefully – so it doesn’t happen again. This means several things:
- Keep Organized – understand when your assignments are due, and know how much time you have left so you can plan around it. It’s worth noting that this will also help you plan your lifestyle a bit better, so its a great thing to do
- Give Yourself Time – saving things for last minute is a surefire way to shoot yourself in the foot. Don’t do that. Instead, if they give you an assignment to do for the next lesson or the next day – set time aside after school to do it.
- Don’t Procrastinate – saying that you’ll do it later is the downfall of many missed assignments. You may forget about it or something may come up that will prevent you from doing your assignments on time. Get it done sooner rather than later
Use Your Resources
When we say “resources” we mean tutors, teacher’s assistants, and even the world wide web to help you complete your assignments when you’re unable to. Don’t make it a habit, but there are websites like Assignment Expert that are here to help you do exactly that: finish your homework. Note that schools and universities have their own rules for these types of resources, so use with caution. There are also websites that may have guides or flash cards that can help you in most of your subjects. If you do use them, they can be quite helpful to get you out of this situation.
Prioritize Your Assignments
If you’ve got a ton of assignments to finish – and only a limited amount of time – its good to prioritize them in an order of importance – which classes do you need to complete them today – ones with very lenient teachers or professors – and ones that are low priority because you’re allowed to miss this one assignment. Having that done, your experience with finishing your assignments will go over much smoother and less stressful.
Motivate Yourself
There’s a reason why you’re feeling stressed in this crunch time, you’re trying to accomplish something. Whether its to improve your grade or pass class, you still have motivation to do it. If you didn’t have any motivation, you wouldn’t be this stressed to read this article on the internet. But keep in mind your end goals so you’ll have the time and energy to spend on it. Complaining about not having enough time, isn’t going to give you more time.
Figure Out Your Problems
If you’ve procrastinated and put off your assignments, there must be a good reason, right? A good reason or not – you should reevaluate the things you’re doing in your life that put you in this position. If it can be helped, avoid these kinds of situations. Education is important and you should treat it as such.
Once you get a handle on your situation, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Managing your time isn’t easy, so once its done you can relax a bit before your next deadline.

How to Finish All Your Missing Assignments Fast; 8 Useful Tips
When you do not submit or complete assignments on time you are faced with the challenge of missing assignments. It can be hard to keep track of all your missing assignments when they pile up but don’t worry.
First, talk with your teachers about the assignments you failed to submit and ask for a deadline extension. Then, make a plan for how to handle your work, putting the most important tasks first. Take breaks, treat yourself, and keep a good attitude to get more done. It’s not easy to make up for the schoolwork you missed, but if you’re organized and have a plan, you’ll be better able to handle whatever comes your way.
It is a daunting situation, and without the right approach, you may end up not finishing your missing assignments which will affect your overall grade. Here are critical steps that can help you finish all your missing assignments fast.
1. Create a list of all missing assignments
When working on missing assignments, you are more likely to pick the easier assignment first and forget about the tough assignments. Making a list of all your assignments helps to make sure you complete all missing assignments.
List all the missing assignments that need to be done; even if you have to re-read notes, all these tasks must be included in the list. Tick off the tasks after completion to keep you motivated.
2. Create a detailed timetable
A timetable helps you plan your tasks. Assign all your missing assignments time. Schedule more time for the tough assignments. Remember you are on a deadline, so whatever time you estimate an activity might take, reduce it by at least 5 to 10 minutes. You have to be ruthless and, at the same time, realistic when coming up with a timetable.
3. Gather all assignment materials
After listing all the missing assignments, you will have an idea of all the required materials. You must gather all the necessary tools, such as laptops and writing materials. By doing this, you ensure that you will not have to take breaks now and then to fetch something leading to time wastage. If you are the type of person who concentrates better on music in the background, this can be a great time to choose a studying playlist.
4. Switch off your devices
You must turn off all the gadgets not needed to do the assignments. These may include phones and tablets. You need to find a place with minimal distraction to enable you fully concentrate on the task at hand.
Being destructed will cost you time which could have been used to finish your missing assignments. Therefore, you can choose to keep your devices in a different room and only use them when you are on break. You can use one of the breaks already programmed to check on your social media.
5. Ask for Assignment help online
If you’re thinking “I need help with my missing assignments” and want to finish homework fast, don’t avoid getting help. There are fast writers online who will help you with your assignments – for a small price of course.
Remember that your mental health has a big effect on how much you get done. No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to finish your assignment faster if you are tired or stressed out. Assignment help experts will relieve you of your missing assignments stress.
6. Reward yourself after finishing a missing assignment
Doing assignments may be challenging. Our brains work better when there is a possibility of getting a reward. Rewarding yourself after finishing each assignment will motivate you to continue and improve your speed.
These rewards can be a few minutes of rest, eating a snack, playing games, or spending some time on social media. These rewards should be manageable, they should not be activities that will take much of your time.
7. Avoid unnecessary breaks
Breaks are very important when doing any task, but you need to be disciplined and take breaks only when necessary to avoid wasting time. The best way to do this is by working in short sprints and taking at most a 5-minute break.
Remember, it is also not advisable to work continuously without a break. Your mind will be exhausted, and you will take longer to complete simple tasks.
To ensure you are disciplined, you need to have punishments in place if you don’t achieve your target. You can punish yourself by taking away break privileges when a task is not done as allocated.
8. Stay positive and remember what is at stake
Apart from following these steps, the most important step to finishing all your missing assignments is having a positive mindset. You must remember what is at stake, which in this case, is your academic achievement. Having this in mind will act as a form of motivational tool whenever things seem impossible.
Is it bad to have missing assignments in college?
Yes, it is bad to have incomplete assignments. You can skip some assignments without getting into trouble with the faculty, but you will lose some credits. Some lecturers are lenient and will award you partial credit for late submission of assignments, while others will give you nothing. When you miss assignments and are in an upper-division class, be sure your grades will be negatively impacted. You may not get into trouble with the faculty for missing one or two assignments, but your grades might be affected in the long run.
Do missing assignments affect your GPA?
Yes, missing assignments do affect your GPA. Missing assignments are usually given low or 0 marks which negatively impacts the grade, which is not a good thing for the student. You must maintain a GPA of 2.8 and above to have a good academic transcript. To remain competitive with the higher percentile range of students, you must have a 3.2 and above GPA score.
Can a professor drop you from a class for missing assignments?
Generally, a professor cannot drop you from a class because of missing assignments. However, this will also depend on your institution and its policy regarding missing assignments. Some lecturers are usually lenient and will pardon you for missing a few assignments, while others are stricter.
If you have any concerns about missing assignments, it is important to talk to your lecturer and understand their expectations and policies regarding missing assignments. If you are interested in getting the best results, you can contact your professor with genuine reasons why you missed the assignments and they might agree to give you partial credit that will assist in boosting your final grade.
Can I complete all my missing assignments in a day?
Yes, you can complete all missing assignments in a day. However, it will depend on the type and quantity of assignments you have. In most cases, it will be better to ask for more time instead of producing sub-standard work because of time.
Completing all missing assignments in a day will also require you to devise a good plan and implement it. You will have to stay away from any disruptions that may hinder your progress. Prior planning and communication with your lecturer will help you avoid situations whereby you have to complete a number of missing assignments within a day. You can ask for assignment help online if overwhelmed by deadlines.
Do missing assignments show up on transcripts?
No, missing assignments do not appear in your transcript; they only reduce your grades. Unlike cheating, missing assignments only affect total grades; therefore, it is better to have unsubmitted assignments than receive an “F” because of cheating. The only issue you will have on your transcript due to missing assignments is your GPA.
Can you graduate with missing assignments?
No, you cannot pass a class with missing assignments; therefore, you cannot graduate with incomplete assignments. To complete a course, some different assignments and tasks need to be completed, and failure to complete assignments will greatly affect your overall score.
Therefore, it is critical for a student to ensure that all assignments are completed and preferably on time. However, depending on the institution, you can graduate if the missing assignment didn’t greatly affect your final score.
Can a professor fail you for missing one assignment?
Not really, missing assignments will only impact your grade, and the lecturer has nothing to do with it. Most lecturers deal with several students and do not have time to deal with a particular student’s missing assignment. It is the responsibility of a student to make sure that all the assignments are completed. However, there are lecturers teaching units with few students; such lecturers have the time to follow up on individual students’ missing assignments. You need to know that even the lecturers that follow up on missing assignments will still deduct credit for a late submission.
It is completely the student’s responsibility to ensure no missing assignments. Professors do not fail students because of missing assignments because missing an assignment does not necessarily mean the student is performing badly; it might be because the student had a legitimate reason for not doing that assignment.

Students are given a grade of NOT YET instead of a letter or number grade if work is not demonstrating mastery.
March 24, 2015
Many times, students see a grade on an assignment and conclude that there is nothing to be done about it- it is final. Writing Not Yet on a paper helps students understand that the work is not completed and that it is important to persist when challenged.
Strategy summary:
When grading student work, be it formative or summative, create a cut off point for what you would consider mastery. All work that does not meet this expectation is marked NOT YET. When returned to students, explain that they are to revise work and provide guidelines and structure for students to fix their assignments and demonstrate mastery.
Before Class:
Create a grading system that meets expectations of your school and allows for students to revise work that doesn't meet standards. This may include dedicated time each week in class for students to revise or a special time after school they can meet with you.
During Class:
1) Start a class discussion about what it means to get an F on an assignment. Document student ideas.
2) Explain that your grading practices will be different- there will be no Fs. Ask for student reactions- how will this change this class? How will this change your responsibilities?
3) In order for student to understand why the grading procedure is being changed, give a mini-lesson on growth mindset. Click here for a great resource.
4) Explain that NY ( Not Yet) will be the grade on assignments that have not demonstrated mastery. Provide a structure for students to redo NY assignments along with timing parameters. Share these procedures with fellow teachers and with parents.

Make Homework Work
Teachers and parents must make homework meaningful. Begin the assignment in class and encourage students to engage parents. Students must understand the assigned work before it is completed.

Homework is still debated as being beneficial. However, most schools require teachers to give work. Yet, there will always be students that do not complete the work. A little planning on its purpose helps to get students to complete work. Also, some planning and help on the part of parents help. Hence, a plan to involve parents will provide the needed results.

The sentence "I did not finish it yet" is incorrect because of mismatched tense. The phrase did not finish is in the past tense, while the word yet indicates that the task is ongoing (present tense), which creates a contradiction.. The sentence "I have not finished it yet" is correct because the phrase have not finished is in the present tense and can be safely used with "yet".
This task was allocated to me by a coworker, who did not give much direction, even though it was known this is my first time trying to complete this type of task. Now the boss is asking for an update, and I have nothing to report, because it is not complete. Furthermore, it can't be completed today because the outside support I need is closed.

There's some professors out there that continue to speak about stuff that's relevant to the assignment all the way up until it's due. It's like you don't have a choice but to complete the assignment right before it's due. It's pretty shitty on their part, but there's also no harm in continuing to work on an assignment in stages.
