Yesterday I had discussion with my American roommate on the verb "to drink". He asked me what I was doing and I said: "I was loitering outside... I have drunk a lot". Anyway he said he has never heard any American using the verb "to drink" that way. He'd say "I have been drinking"or "I have drank a lot", instead. Then I got all confused assuming that I was misusing the past participle. I'd like to know your thinking on this matter. |
