the person after me game

[dEhiN]

We haven't had didn't have a holiday yesterday therefore I picked up the groceries after work as usually.

The simple past is enough since we're talking about yesterday, a day that has completely finished. Using the perfect aspect makes me think there will be some connection to the present. For example, you could say "we haven't had a holiday in ages / we haven't had a holiday in such a long time". In this case, the connection is that starting from the present and going back into the far past, there has been no holiday (at least that the speaker can remember). Also, colloquially I think it's more common to use "so". I think of "therefore" as having a slightly higher register than "so", and so it's a word usually found on essays or in math proofs or in fancy speech.

You're okay with "as usually"? Round here, the expression is "as usual" or (rarely) "as per usual".

I'm all about that bass.

No, I just missed that! Yeah I would use "as usual" as well.

Yes, but I can't tell them apart from the bad ones.

The person after me does.

It sounds better I think to say "... me can". A lot of times in English we'll repeat the main verb or the auxiliary verb and let the listener/reader fill in the rest based on the original sentence. Ex: "Are you going to the movies tonight?" "Yes I am".


I think I can tell good and bad puns apart.

The person after me would happily run to the store for the 3 peppers that are missing for my recipe of the Basque piperade.

The next person takes their coffee black in the morning but with milk and sugar in the afternoon.

[tiuwiu]

No, I always drink my coffee black without sugar.

The person after me should be working on something important, but isn't.

[plengfruit]

I don't have to and boy am I happy about it.

[Osias]

Sometimes birds, sometimes cats and dogs, but most of times noisy motorcycles.

"Of ours" would also be possible, but it also has the meaning "belonging to us" so it sounds a little odd here.
