Done Or Done? Dictionary Of Doubts To Write On The Internet

Is it written echo or done? Done or done? Is that done with Ho without h? Take for granted or take for granted? Do I miss, or do I miss? The verbs to cast and do can generate confusion when writing certain expressions in Spanish.

Contrary to popular belief, the use of each word has nothing to do with one another. And it is that while the verb to throw refers to the action of dismissing or clearing something, the verb to do is related to the action of carrying out or carrying out an action, despite the redundancy. Let’s see the use of these two words in some of the most popular expressions on the Internet to clear up doubts about casting and doing, not ‘done.’

WHEN TO USE ECHO AND DONE?

As we have just mentioned, the verbs to throw and do depend on the expression we will use in the sentence. The most effective trick we can resort to know if its use is correct is substituting the conjugated verbs in the expressions for the infinitive.

If we use the expression ‘I miss you,’ we must replace the conjugated verb, echo, with its infinitive, cast. If we applied this same formula to the verb to do, the expression would be incorrect since ‘to do less’ does not make any sense in Spanish. The word ‘done’ does not exist in our language.

THAT IS DONE WITH HO WITHOUT H?

As it refers to an action that has already been carried out, that is, done, the word is written with h, as it does not mention any act of throwing or dismissing any element from itself. That task that you proposed to me is already done and finished.

TAKE FOR GRANTED OR TAKE FOR GRANTED?

Here the verb to do acts as a nominal rather than a verb. To write the expression correctly, we must temporarily replace the word with a synonym of the noun fact, such as act, action, or work. Echo as a nominal verb does not exist but refers to the first person of the simple present of the verb to throw. I put things in a bucket, but the fact is that it is still empty.
