    I heard our neighbors have sent their son to a private school.

    We only use the perfect here if it's news - an announcement, not just a fact. Either because you can't believe it, or because he was acting so badly in public school that his parents had to take drastic measures. At any rate, it's a lot more emotive and "newsworthy" than just the simple past.

Thank you a lot! But is it possible to translate this sentence using complex subject or not? I’m just a little confused

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 5 years ago

What is a complex subject?

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 5 years ago

The subject is я))

“Me, myself and I heard...” 😂

Anastasia Streidyдобавил комментарий 5 years ago

No, it’s using a certain structure like can it sound Iike this : our neighbors were heard to have sent their son to a private school?

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 5 years ago

You can, and it’s grammatical, but it’s SOOOOOO awkward and strange. This tone is used mostly in stories, especially legends or accounts of people disappearing, for example. “Atlantis is said/thought/believed to have simply disappeared along with all its inhabitants.” or “Rasputin was said to have been able to hypnotize people with his gaze alone.” With this in mind, you’ll see how silly it would sound to apply this type of expression to something as mundane as your neighbors sending their kid to private school 😉

Thank you a lot once more I agree it sounds weird but I need this sh*t in my college 😄

I was just discussing this with another Russian user. Such a shame that they don’t teach a more modern, realistic and FLEXIBLE English in Russia 😢

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 5 years ago

Oh well, maybe the neighbors are legendary! 🤴🏻 👸🏼

Anastasia Streidyдобавил комментарий 5 years ago

Yeah unfortunately but our teachers believe that speaking modern English and using new phrases isn’t that much important. They think complex grammar is the only thing u gotta know. That literally sucks 😬

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 5 years ago

Well you can’t expect much from teachers who don’t speak good English themselves.
