“Has yet to win” vs. “Spoiler”? Who is winning?
I came across this one : Find the error in the sentence or
state that there is no error. “This should be difficult and informative to work with”. What are common errors in your grammar while reading links to the errors.
Chess players find that playing against a computer is helpful (to improve their) skills, (even though) no chess-playing computer has yet won a championship.
I will pick up the idiomatic error: “is helpful to improve” should be “is helpful in improving”. To be honest, I saw a problem with the last choice, because I recall hearing the words “has yet to win”.
I agree with the solution, but I’ve been wrong. Is “hath won” right? In the website there
is an error at (D). The word won, the past participle of the verb u00abto winu00bb, combine with the verb u00abhasu00bb, to produce the appropriate verb tense.
However, this means that “has yet to win” is incorrect due to the conflicting tenses.
Is “has yet to win” grammatically incorrect? Are both types of relationships okay for the body?
What is the meaning of “inside out”?
Has yet to is perfectly correct, and there are no conflicting tenses in it. Remember, the verb have can combine with a past participle to form perfect constructions (present perfect and past perfect, respectively, for present and past have) but can also combine with a to -infinitive.
The definition of ‘have to X’ is to’must X’, but if you add yet, the meaning changes. It is in fact a slightly different collocation of verbs, and it works with both have and be, though have is much more common. What does “X is not happening yet” mean if X is to happen?
Is there a case for “No chess-playing computer has yet to win a championship” meaning “No chess-playing computer has not yet won a championship”? Presumably it would mean that every chess-playing computer will win a championship already, but it’s basically nonsensical.
…even though no computer has won a Championship yet.
(I don’t know why), the following two are more or less equivalent, though:
With a chess network that uses the internet to train players, computers haven’t won major championships.
This is idiomatic phrasing and often used as the basis for the main word so, where does Hes to do it mean either he must do it or it is known of His or she will do it? Consider “he is about to do it”—that means that he will do it in a moment. However here means still, and so if you say “He is yet/still to do it”, it means that it is still expected/known/assisted that he will do it; in other words, he has not done it
yet.
How do I look at this? I think the best way to look at this is to simply accept ‘to have yet to’ as an idiom. Is there a way to understand some details about what the people around me are saying?
I won is past perfect. The winning has already taken place?
I myself have to win is an idiom that refers to the future. Why does the phrase “to win” mean that everything gets tied together?
By inserting ‘yet’ we revert it to its original sense of futurity but without a sense of compulsion.
What will I have to do if I haven’t won unless I run the line first time? I may (or may not) win in the future, but I am very scared of losing.
And now I’m really not sure if those notes help anyone. I hope so.
