Who says this?

The done my homework construction is a widespread characteristic of Canadian English, and it is also found in the United States among speakers in the Philadelphia area, southern New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and the northern part of New England (Yerastov 2008, 2010a, 2010b, 2012, 2016; Hinnell 2012; Fruehwald and Myler 2013, 2015; Zanuttini et al. 2016). It has not been found in the dialects of the United Kingdom or elsewhere outside of North America.

See our interactive maps below to explore some of the raw data in more detail.

Syntactic Properties

The syntax of this construction has recently been studied in some detail by Fruehwald and Myler (2013, 2015). The following description is based on their work.

Degree modification by all

The done my homework construction may seem to resemble a sentence like I have done my homework . (A sentence that, like this one, contains have plus a participle is said to be in the perfect aspect ). However, the phrase done my homework is actually more similar to adjective phrases such as ready for school because, like an adjective phrase, these phrases can be modified by the degree word all . (4a) shows a typical example of all modifying an adjective phrase (namely, ready for school ), and (4b) shows an analogous example of the done my homework construction with modification by all :

4) a. I’m all ready for school. b. I’m all done my homework.

By contrast, done my homework may not be modified by all when it is used in a sentence with the perfect aspect. Thus, (5) is not acceptable:

5) *I have all done my homework.

This is evidence that the done my homework construction is not an instance of a verb phrase in the perfect aspect but rather is more like an adjective phrase.

Co-occurrence with perfect aspect

The done my homework construction also differs from verb phrases in the perfect aspect in that done my homework can actually co-occur with the perfect aspect, as in (6):

6) I have been done my homework for a while now.

By contrast, although done my homework can co-occur with the perfect aspect as shown in (6), the perfect aspect cannot co-occur with a second instance of the perfect aspect in the same sentence. Thus, (7) would not be acceptable:

7) *I have had done my homework for a while now.

Fruehwald and Myler (2013, 2015) show several other ways in which the done my homework construction is distinct from the perfect aspect.

No leaving the object behind

At first glance, it may be tempting to think that the done my homework construction involves simply not pronouncing the word with in a sentence like (8):

8) I'm done with my homework.

Fruehwald and Myler (2013, 2015), however, present several differences between the two constructions. One such difference is the ability (shown in (9c)) to move the word done to the beginning of the sentence, similar to the movement of proud and angry in (9a) and (9b):

9) a. Proud though John is of his daughter , it won't matter. b. Angry though John is with his daughter , it won't matter. c. Done though John is with his computer , it won't matter.

This kind of movement is not possible with the done my homework construction. For example, although the entire phrase done his homework may be moved as in (10b), (10a) would be judged unacceptable because only done has moved, leaving the object his homework behind:

10) a. * Done though John may be his homework , it won't matter. b. * Done his homework though John may be, it won't matter.

In this respect, it is similar to phrases like worth the money because (11a), like (10a), is unacceptable, whereas (11b), like (10b), is acceptable:

11)  a. * Worth though this may be the money , it won't matter. b. * Worth the money though this may be, it won't matter.

Fruehwald and Myler (2013, 2015) also argue that the meaning of the construction is not what we would expect if it involved an unpronounced with .

Allowed verbs

There is variation across dialects in terms of which verbs speakers allow in this construction. According to Yerastov (e.g. 2010a, 2010b), there is a hierarchy along the lines of finished > done > started . In other words, if speakers accept started (as in I'm started my homework ), they will accept all three verbs. If speakers accept done , they will also accept finished , but not necessarily started . Finally, some speakers accept only finished . This kind of hierarchy resembles the one found in the needs washed construction with need > want > like (see here for further discussion of the needs washed construction).

Recent Survey Results

The following map shows results from a recent nationwide survey. It represents speakers' judgments of the sentence I'm done my homework . There is some description of the map on the left, as well as a legend in the upper righthand side.

This next map shows recent results of a survey regarding various iterations of the PAST-PARTICIPLE + YOUR HOMEWORK construction:

Present simple – verb 'to be'

We can use the present simple of the verb to be to talk about situations and states in the present.

I am ten years old. They are Egyptian. My mum is a doctor.

How to use it

Use am for I . Use is for he , she and it . Use are for you , we and they . We can contract the verb, especially when we're speaking.

I am tall. = I 'm tall. You are my friend. = You 're my friend. My mum is a doctor. = My mum 's a doctor. We are doctors. = We 're doctors. They are Egyptian. = They 're Egyptian.

For negatives, use not .

I am not nine years old! = I 'm not nine years old! She is not a teacher. = She 's not a teacher. = She isn't a teacher. They are not English. = They 're not English. = They aren't English.

For questions, change the order of am , is or are and the person.

Are you Brazilian? Yes, I am. Are they students? No, they're not. Where is your brother ?

Focus Standards:  These are the standards the instruction addresses.

• RL.8.1, RL.8.2, L.8.1b, L.8.1c, L.8.1d, L.8.3a

Supporting Standards:  These are the standards that are incidental—no direct instruction in this lesson, but practice of these standards occurs as a result of addressing the focus standards.

• RL.8.3, RL.8.4, RL.8.10, W.8.4, W.8.10, L.8.4c
• I can determine a theme and analyze its development in an excerpt from Night by Elie Wiesel. ( RL.8.1, RL.8.2 )
• I can write an objective summary of an excerpt from Night by Elie Wiesel. ( RL.8.2 )
• I can use verbs in different moods to achieve particular effects. ( L.8.1c, L.8.3a )
• Opening A: Entrance Ticket
• Work Time A: Track Gist, Plot, Character, and Theme: Night , Pages 23-24 note-catcher ( RL.8.1, RL.8.2, RL.8.3 )
• Work Time B: Objective Summary: Night , Pages 23-24 ( RL.8.1, RL.8.2 )
• Closing and Assessment A: Selected and Constructed Response Questions: Verb Mood and Voice ( L.8.1b, L.8.1c, L.8.1d, L.8.3a )
• Prepare Entrance Ticket: Unit 2, Lesson 9.
• Ensure there is a copy of Entrance Ticket: Unit 2, Lesson 9 at each student's workspace.
• Preread the excerpt from Night , Pages 23-24, in preparation for reading the text with students in this lesson. Note the strong emotional content about the harsh conditions of the transport trains.
• Post the learning targets and applicable anchor charts (see Materials list).

Tech and Multimedia

Continue to use the technology tools recommended throughout previous modules to create anchor charts to share with families; to record students as they participate in discussions and protocols to review with students later and to share with families; and for students to listen to and annotate text, record ideas on note-catchers, and word-process writing.

Supports guided in part by CA ELD Standards 8.I.C.11, 8.I.C.12, 8.II.A.1, and 8.II.A.2.

Important Points in the Lesson Itself

• To support ELLs, this lesson includes further practice with the language skills introduced in Lesson 8 and continued work with reading memoirs of Holocaust victims and summary writing. Students will focus on capturing central ideas and identifying theme in an excerpt from Elie Wiesel's Night . Ample time for reading and writing is built into the lesson and selected and constructed response questions on verb mood are closely aligned with the questions students worked through in Lesson 8 and the questions students will answer on the End of Unit 2 Assessment.  
• ELLs may find it difficult to identify themes in the excerpt and to articulate this within a summary. Encourage students to use annotation as they read to record important notices and wonders, and prioritize collaborative discussion as students process what they have read. Students may benefit from discussing the text in home language groups before using English to write the summary.
