Question

Please correct my grammar:

'Its been 3 days straight that I dreamedt that I was in the Las vegas'

Answer 1

*dreamed

Answer 2

Do you know what is wrong? or have an idea on what the sentence should look like?

Answer 3

Idk but for me the 'that i dreamed that I was in Las Vegas' sounds wrong

Answer 4

It does well lets begin with the beginning part, remember some words can be two and may need an apostrophe example : It is --> It[']s

Answer 5

im making a story..and the girl dreamed that she's in vegas and that dream is repeated for 3 days straight

Answer 6

Okay, so lol you just want someone to edit your sentence?

Answer 7

well kind of..its just it sounds wrong and i dont want wrong grammar

Answer 8

Lol well first I think the sentence shoudl look like this
"It has been three days straight, since I last dreamed that I was in Las Vegas."
Does that sound better?

Answer 9

have, have been

Answer 10

have - followed by past
have been - present

Answer 11

'It has been 3 days straight that I have dreamt I was in the Las vegas'

Answer 12

Don't forget to remove "the" before Las Vegas ;)

Answer 13

I want to explain it more

Answer 14

the girl dreamed last night on her sleep and when she woke up, she told her friend that she's been dreaming that she's in Vegas for 3 days straight now

Answer 15

the tense that nincompoop is using is called "present perfect"

it indicates an action that started in the past and continues into the present

Answer 16

so, in your case, the dreaming started 3 days ago and continues into the present

Answer 17

so we use

"have" + the past tense of dream

Answer 18

now, here's the tricky part

Answer 19

"dream" has 2 past tenses: dreamed and dreamt

Answer 20

yes you're right so far

Answer 21

so i can use either dreamed and dreamt?

Answer 22

technically, both are correct (Dreamt is more common in Britain than in England)

Answer 23

*than in America

Answer 24

ok

Answer 25

however, we usually use "dreamt" for a literal dream (the sleeping kind)
and "dreamed" for a metaphorical dream (like, hoping or wanting)

Answer 26

so what would my sentence look lke or sounds like?

Answer 27

'It has been 3 days straight that I have dreamt I was in the Las vegas' is it right?

Answer 28

You're close. ^^

Answer 29

wait

Answer 30

Answer 31

Answer 32
