For example, if it is 7 PM, you could say "I didn't eat dinner at 6" or "I haven't eaten dinner yet today".
Doesn’t = does ….they are the same. As well, haven’t ”have not,haven’t”,”did not,didn’t”. The only difference is that we use the shortened more and save the longer ones (have not) to make our point stronger. Preety is not a word. Pretty??? Pretty means beautiful and very.
