I swore that I never would have fell for this again but it seems that I have fallen for it once more... and I don't give a flying ****stick, although I never heard of one flying before.

Actually if the use "have" then it's "fallen,"..... I swore that I never would have fallen for this again, but it seems I fell for it once more.

I never would have fell for this again is present tense... since I am doing the swearing now.

I should have put in I swear to make that more clear but I swore it to myself is still in the present.

Perhaps in NZ, in USA if you use "have" then the following word is "fallen," not "fell," regardless of what you think the tense is. I think your tense is present participle, but it's been years so terminology is certainly rusty. Also here "fell" is past tense, and "fall" is present tense.

Fell... purely past tense.

Fallen... present or past tense, depending upon usage.


I often fell down as an infant when I was learning to walk. (Or.) I fell behind in school that year, and it almost held me back a grade.

I have fallen down and need help! (Or.) I have fallen behind in my school work, but I have time to recover before the end of the semester.

In English class as a little kid the teachers would have taught you that "fell" stands on its own but "fallen" need a helper-verb.

In Latin class it would have been conjugated as follows:

I fall. (present)

I fell. (past)

I will fall. (future)

I have fallen. (present perfect -- meaning finished now)

I had fallen. (past perfect -- finished in the past)

I will have fallen. (future perfect -- to be finished in the future)

I am falling. (progressive)

In Latin you must learn to conjugate all verbs in the above format. The Catholic Church is the primary user of Latin these days, or if you want to be a Biblical scholar of the Vulgate (Latin) Bible. Or if you are researching the Roman Empire or Roman literature.

A lot of our ancient history sources are only written in Latin and must therefore be re-translated from it.

"would have fallen" is subjunctive past -- should, would, could, and sometimes had all denote the subjunctive -- meaning something that did not actually happen.

"I would have drowned if a big log had not floated in and saved me." -- preschool joke.

That joke fell the first time... and it is falling now.
 
Where "fallen" is not an adjective (i.e. fallen angel), it is a participle requiring an auxiliary verb (most commonly be, do and have) only the tense of which is altered according to need.

I have fallen (for this), where "have" indicates present (insinuating continuance of dumbness)

I had fallen for this is past but completed

I would have fallen (for this) is conditional (if I were an idiot).

I will have fallen for this (by tomorrow) is future and based on the premise that I'll be as dumb then as today.

I fell is simple past tense, requiring no auxiliary verb and denoting that action is over.

Lastly, dildo is spelled as one word.



Maybe I should have went with some other posters but they is not like what we am.:mrgreen:

TOP DEFINITION
Flying **** Stick
What you are called by a druken man at a baseball game, whom you are refusing to serve because he is clearly to drunk.
What do you mean I am to drunk to be given another beer? Who are you to tell me that you Flying **** stick!

0 1 the term has been borrowed by the common people and used as an insult. But the words have a MUCH deeper and more sinister meaning. the flying **** stick or ****stick is what hit the pentagon building. the ffs is something of legend or myth in that it is older than manned flight, and can be created at will. Something akin to the jews and their Golam. the ffs can be blamed for many recent tragedies, such as the (**********) it is quite different than a chupa cabra or other mythological creatures bc the ffs is controlled by the human psyche.
