WRONG: He done all he could, but the sky fell anyway.You may blame the fact that so many people create sentences like the first example (He done all he could) on one of the many joys of English grammar. Some verb forms can stand alone or pair with a helping verb. Consider the verb to walk:RIGHT: He had done all he could, but the sky fell anyway.
ALSO RIGHT: He did all he could, but the sky fell anyway.
WRONG: She done him wrong.
RIGHT, BUT A BAD SENTENCE: She has done him wrong.
ALSO RIGHT, ALSO A BAD SENTENCE: She did him wrong.
BETTER SENTENCE: What she has done to him is wrong.
ANOTHER OKAY: What she did to him is wrong.
I walked twenty miles.These sentences both contain the word walked. It’s a verb in the first example and part of a verb in the second example. Bottom line: Don’t use done by itself as a verb. It’s a combination form only!I have walked twenty miles.
