usage

I am confused with this usage. Could anyone help with this?

I have done MBA.
or
I did MBA

note: I didn't receive my degree yet as I am awaiting my final semester results. Which one is the most preferred form of usage.

I got my MBA.
I just got my MBA.
I'm going to get my MBA.
or
I'm graduating with an MBA.

Skippy's right- think of an MBA as a THING, not an action or process. It is a degree- a discrete object, a piece of paper. You wouldn't say "I have done dog" or "I did dog" if you got yourself a new puppy!!!! :-)

I have done a dog.

That has sense though, right?

<<I have done a dog. >>

Я думаю, что это предложение имеет совершенно другое значение... Если ты хочешь, чтобы люди считали тебя извращенцем, то не так говори.

Вы правильно - это нет действительного ответа!

Unless this poor guest has an affinity for sexual liaisons with canines!

Is it wrong to say that 'I have done MBA'?
Guest   Sun May 25, 2008 9:46 am GMT
Yes.

It's ok if MBA is someone's initials.

lol nice. Unless MBA is someone's initials, "I have done MBA" is grammatically incorrect.

How about 'I did MBA'. Is it acceptable?

Thank you very much.

<<How about 'I did MBA'. Is it acceptable?>>

It's the same as I've done MBA, in terms of acceptability.

Also, if MBA is a person, you could say something like "I did MBA in last night" or perhaps "I did in MBA last night."

The only acceptable way to say that you've graduated with an MBA is to say "I got my MBA" or "I graduated with an MBA" or something of that sort.
