forgot/forgotten my homework

Hey, which one is more natural in BE and AE? at school your teacher is checking the homework: [1] Oh, I've done my homework... but,... I've forgotten it home! [2] Oh, I've done my homework... but,... I forgot it home! [3] Oh, I did my homework... but,... I forgot it home! [4] Oh, I did my homework... but, ... I've forgotten it home! To the first part: Is it more important that you did it (present perfect) or that you know when you did it e.g. the day before (simple past)...? I think it's more important that you did it at any time before now. Second part: Is it more important that you forgot it this morning? (simple past) or is it the result: you can't show it now!? I think it's the result, not the action, that really matters in this situation! Therefore, I would choose [1] Oh, I've done my homework... but,... I've forgotten it home! Am I right?

Your answer is fine. Many native speakers would choose the simple past. I did my homework but I forgot it. All four examples sound possible. People who are trying to be careful with their tenses might use the present perfect in these sentences, but anybody would understand if you used the simple past for everything. Both the "doing" and the "forgetting" take place in the past. In this situation, those actions do have some relation to the present, so present-perfect versions are fine. Many native speakers choose the simplest tense that will convey their ideas. More often than not, those tenses will be the simple past and the present.

[1] Oh, I've done my homework... but,... I've left it at home! [2] Oh, I've done my homework... but,... I left it at home! [3] Oh, I did my homework... but,... I left it at home! [4] Oh, I did my homework... but, ... I've left it at home! There are nuances available here, despite the very similar meanings of all of these. (Note the at before home). You can see why asking these kinds of questions without any real context is not helping you very much because there are few helpful guidances that will always apply in all possible contexts! 1 might be said to a friend on the bus to school. 2 might be said to the teacher at school. 3 might be part of a story told days later. 4 might be said to a friend on the bus to school emphasizing that I didn't do anyone else's homework. I changed forgotten because it's a separate issue of whether you have remembered yet and whether something is still forgotten. They are not good examples for the question you are asking.  

Oh, that's very interesting. So "I forgot it at home" does not mean "I forgot to bring it - it's still at home"?! It means "I forgot to do it"? So you have to say "I left it at home", "I forgot to bring it" something like that? What do you think about the two sentences in post #3? I crossed "home" out there? Do they make sense / do they express what I was thinking of?!  

I don't think I would just say "forgot it," I would say what I forgot to do. I did my homework last night, but I forgot to bring it to school (this morning). I did my homework and meant to bring it to school this morning, but I forgot to [bring it]. I did my homework, but I forgot it when I left the house (this morning). This kind of explanation is not necessary when what you forgot has already been mentioned. Teacher: Did you bring your homework? Student: Oh no, I forgot it! / Oh no, I forgot to! / Oh no, I forgot! If you forgot something else, then you must explain. Teacher: Did you bring your homework? Student: Oh, no, I forgot to do it! Please, can I bring it tomorrow? Student: Oh no, I forgot (all) about it! . . .  

Hi, Konrad. "I forgot it home" and "I've forgotten it home" are not natural things to say in AmE, but I think I see what you mean: I left it at home and forgot to bring it to school. A natural way in AmE to say this is "I forgot and left it at home". Referring to JulianStuarts versions of the three sentences for simplicity's sake— If we make the reasonable assumption that first I did my homework (the first event) and then I left it at home (the second event), all four corrected sentences are equally applicable, and all four are equally natural when taken without context. Note 1: The difference between past simple and present perfect in these sentences has nothing to do with the importance of doing it or of knowing when you did it. Note 2: To me, all four apply equally well on the bus, after it has left my house, and at school, and all four apply equally well no matter who I am talking to. Note 3: I am assuming I have not had a chance to return home to retrieve my homework, but otherwise the time elapsed is irrelevant. The difference between past simple and present perfect has to do only with the time or times we choose as reference points. In sentence 1, we are looking back at both events from the present. Sentence 2 uses a shift in reference points, from looking back from the present at doing the homework to looking from a point in the past at leaving the finished homework at home. I interpret this shift to be stressing that my homework is complete (in the present), but when I left home (in the past) I forgot to bring it with me. Sentence 3 looks at the two events in chronological order, looking at them from a forward-moving reference point in the past. Sentence 4 shifts reference points from past to present. I interpret this shift as stressing that when I was meant to do my homework (in the past), I did it, no problem, but now (in the present) I find myself without it. EDIT: I am presupposing , in addition to the sequence of events, that the statement "My homework is complete" began to be true when I did my homework and continues to be true in the present and that the statement "I find myself without it" began to be true when I left it at home and continues to be true in the present. I am not imagining that any of the statements with present perfect implies either of these presuppositions. I interpret the changes in tense as changes in emphasis, the facts remaining the same for all four sentences.

Can I add the fifth option? Oh, I had done my homework...but I forgot it at home (emphasizing that my work was done before I forgot it at home). How is that? Thank you.

I have done my homework. How can you "undo" your homework? That is the conundrum I left unaddressed! So whether the sentence refers to the state of the homework as of now or some time in the past isn't something that makes sense to try to distinguish - in isolation . I think I need a brief reminder of what the question actually is that we are trying to answer. One question that we can answer with a "NO" is "Are there rules about nuances of meaning to determine selection of past and present perfect that can be laid down for sentences with no context ?"  

But it emphasise the result (it's done now) in contrast to "I did my homework" that is more about the action, the fact that you did it at some point in the past. am I right about that?

The distinction is clear in this example: "I've always done my homework on time" implies I still do ( present perfect) homework while "I always did my homework on time" implies I don't do homework any more - homework is a thing of the past . However, "I just did my homework" and "I've just done my homework" don't have that distinction.

Cambridge Dictionary

Forget or leave ?

We sometimes use forget when we don’t remember to bring something with us:

I’ll have to go back; I’ve forgotten my car keys.

We use leave with this same meaning, but only if we mention the place where we left something:

Mia, you’re always leaving your car keys on your desk.
Not: … forgetting your car keys on your desk . or … you’re always leaving your car keys .
I left my homework at home.
Not: I forgot my homework at home .

We use leave when the action is deliberate:

We decided to leave the dog at home.

Homework generally isn’t that much fun. But it generally is a requirement that has a pretty decent-sized impact on your grade, so if you want (or need) to do well in a class, getting the homework done is a big deal. So what happens if you forget to do one of the assignments? You have a few options; the first and best is, of course, to not to forget to do it in the first place. But if that’s not an option, there are a few other measures you can take to try to get out of a homework scrape. Read on to find out more.

Using Good Judgment

Step 1 Tell the truth.

  • Explain why you didn’t do the homework--maybe you forgot about the assignment, got home late, fell asleep, etc. Don’t sugarcoat your reason, but do use some discretion; if you didn’t do your homework because you were at an all-night kegger, keep your reason general (ie, “I didn’t get home until late”) rather than overly specific (ie, “I was too busy doing keg stands”).
  • Apologize. After giving your reason, sincerely apologize. Don’t gloss over this part--the sincerity of your apology will impact how likely your teacher is to want to help you. If you don't feel comfortable talking to the teacher directly, feel free to send them an email or leave them a note.
  • Explain that it won’t happen again--and make sure it doesn’t. Let your teacher know that this was a rare instance of you lapsing on a responsibility and that you’ll be careful that it doesn’t happen again. And--this part is important--keep your word. If you make forgetting your homework habitual, your teacher will not only stop believing your excuses, they’ll rapidly become less sympathetic to your apologies.
  • Ask for another day to finish the assignment. The best case scenario here is that your teacher will grant you extra time to complete the assignment and won’t penalize you for turning it in past the original deadline. More likely, though, your teacher will offer to let you turn in the assignment late, for partial credit. Don’t gripe about or be ungrateful for partial-credit--it will make it less likely that your teacher will extend you a similar opportunity in the future.

Step 2 Explain that you tried but didn’t understand the assignment.

  • Ask the teacher to help you understand the assignment and to let you have another chance at completing it. This both buys you more time and has the added benefit of getting you one-on-one homework help as well.

Step 3 Be creative.

  • If the story’s creative or amusing enough, your teacher might cut you some slack simply because you didn’t give them one of the same boring excuses they always hear.
  • For example, maybe it just so happened that your parents went out last night and left you with a family friend who turned out to be a clairvoyant and burned all of your homework because he looked into the future and saw that if he didn’t destroy it all your cat would rip your homework to shreds while you slept and you would breathe in a fatal amount of air-borne paper bits and choke to death.

Avoiding Bad Excuses

Step 1 Don’t be obvious.

  • It should be obvious, but don’t use “the dog ate my homework.” You might as well not even bother coming up with an excuse at all.
  • Don’t just say “I lost it” unless you can come up with a believable set of extenuating circumstances to explain how it got lost. Saying it just got lost randomly is pretty transparent.

Step 2 Don’t blame technology.

  • Instead of blaming the printer or your laptop, etc., explain that you had trouble when you were trying to print (or whatever) the homework right before class but that you’ll email it to your teacher by the end of the day. You can buy more time with that, and quickly type it up.
  • Just be sure you actually do send it to them by the end of the day--preferably by 5 pm. [2] X Research source

Step 3 Don’t plead ignorance.

  • First, since it’s your responsibility, not theirs, to make sure you’re up-to-date on assignments, this excuse is pretty much like telling the teacher that it was your own fault.
  • Second, because, from your teacher’s point of view, an entire classroom of other students managed to find out about and do the homework, so it clearly isn’t as hard as you’re making it out to be. [3] X Research source
  • And finally, the ignorance excuse won’t work because when you’re absent, your teacher expects that you’ll find out everything you missed. If didn’t, your teacher will again see it as your own fault.

Avoiding the Situation in the First Place

Step 1 Make a homework game-plan.

  • Start by writing down every assignment and its due date as soon as it’s assigned.
  • Be sure to write all of your assignments down in the same place so you don’t miss any or have to go on a desperate search every time you want to know what’s due. A day planner, dedicated homework notebook, or scheduling app are all good options.

Step 2 Have a homework...

  • Whenever you get an assignment, estimate how long it will take to complete and set aside the necessary time accordingly.
  • If it’s an assignment that will take several days or even several weeks, set aside as many blocks of time as you’ll need to complete it over that span of time.

Step 3 Make homework a routine.

  • Don’t procrastinate on homework--don’t let yourself play video games or chat on Facebook until you’ve finished your night’s assignments.
  • Do the harder assignments first. Getting the harder work out of the way first is a more efficient and rewarding use of your time.

Step 4 Use free or in-between times to do homework.

  • If you have a study-hall period, a free period, a few minutes between classes, a 10-15 minute bus ride home, etc., use that time to work on homework. Sure, you’d rather be talking to friends or playing on your phone, but if you want to have your homework done, you’ll need to actually take the time to do it. [4] X Research source

Step 5 Ask for help.

  • Start by approaching the teacher. Explain your difficulties and ask for their help. That’s what your teachers are there for, after all--to help you learn. (And if they show any reluctance to help, remind them of this fact.) They’re the best source of help since they’re the ones making and grading the homework, and having the help of an insider is often invaluable.
  • Get help from a classmate. If your teacher isn’t able to give as much help as you need, supplement their help with help from a classmate who understands the material and is doing well in the class. If you aren’t sure who that might be, ask your teacher for suggestions.
  • Get a tutor. Many schools offer free peer-tutoring services that can be a significant help. Ask your teacher or an administrator whether such services are available. If not, consider looking into hiring a tutor. There are a number of professional tutoring services to choose from, or you might try hiring a local college student for tutoring help.

Step 6 Cut out distractions.

  • Even if you think you’re a great multi-tasker, trying to do homework while also texting, catching up on Facebook, and tweeting about how much you hate homework is actually hurting you more than helping you get through the process.
  • Moreover, though multitasking can be an asset for some activities, it isn’t an asset when studying. When you’re multitasking, your mind leaves your current train of thought (like, say, trigonometry) and takes up a new train (maybe texting a friend about tomorrow’s plans), and the result is that you end up doing worse on both.
  • Find a quiet, distraction-free space to do your studying. The better you’re able to concentrate, the better you’ll do on your work and the more quickly you’ll get through it. Put away or turn off anything you know will distract you (your phone, Facebook alerts, whatever). [6] X Research source
  • If you find yourself being distracted by thoughts of other things you should or want to be doing, keep a piece of paper next to you where you can write down those thoughts as they come up. Don’t dwell on them, just write them down and know you can get back to them later. [7] X Research source
  • Set small goals and reward yourself when you achieve them. For example, set a goal to study for 15-20 minutes straight and then reward yourself with a small treat when you do so. [8] X Research source

How to Survive in School When You Forget Your Homework Regularly

Last Updated: September 18, 2022 References

wikiHow is a “wiki,” similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, 16 people, some anonymous, worked to edit and improve it over time. There are 7 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page. This article has been viewed 24,217 times.

Homework is an important part of your education and thus, in a modern world, a key to a happier and more prosperous future. If you are having trouble with homework, you should take action immediately. Seek support from your friends and family. Reconsider how you spend your time. Perhaps, most importantly, organize your work so that you know exactly what you need to do and when you need to have it down.

Creating an Environment Conducive to Your Success

Step 1 Ask for help.

  • Ask your parents. They know you well enough to diagnose the issue. They also might be able to help you organize your time and remind you of homework assignments. You should however, refrain from getting them involved in actually completing your homework. [1] X Research source
  • For more perspectives, ask friends who know you well or people close to you at school who have experience with your study habits. If you are involved in extracurricular activities, ask peers in the same groups if they have trouble with homework and how they manage it.

Step 2 Minimize distractions.

  • If you set aside this time and you find yourself constantly distracted by your computer or a video game, your problem might be a bad habit. Focus your energy on trying to break the habit.
  • If you find it impossible to set aside this time, the problem might be your schedule. Take some time to make a schedule. You might find that you will need to drop some of your activities to make time for homework.
  • Try to get your parents involved in homework time. Encourage them to be quiet to minimize distractions. Ask them for help, but don’t get them to do your homework for you.

Step 3 Find your motivation.

  • If this does not work, try set up some sort of external motivation. Ask your parents to reward—or punish—you according to your performance in school. [3] X Research source

Step 4 Work with your teachers.

  • If you are forgetting homework, try to participate in class and do well on quizzes to bring up your grade.

Step 5 Talk to a professional.

Organizing Your Homework

Step 1 Create a planner.

  • Sometimes we procrastinate because we are afraid of failure. You need to conquer these fears. Even great writers have terrible first drafts. The process of editing is how bad writing becomes good. If you are too afraid of failure to start early, failure is precisely what you will get.
  • If procrastination is a problem, consider creating a designated work space, free of distractions. Leave your books and other work material around. If your environment is telling you to work, your brain might just get the message.

Forgot or Forgotten? Difference Explained (Helpful Examples)

Some irregular verb forms come with different past tenses that we need to understand. The past tense of “forget” is one such word, and this article will explore how to use the simple past tense and past participle correctly.

Forgot or Forgotten: Which Is Correct?

“Forgot” and “forgotten” are the two past tense forms we can use for the verb “to forget.” “Forgot” is formally recognized as the simple past tense, while “forgotten” is formally recognized as the past participle. You should stick to those formal rules when writing the past tense.

Forgot or Forgotten: Which Is Correct?

These examples might help you to understand the key differences.

  • I forgot to mention that I’ll be out of town tonight!
  • You have forgotten all about our wedding anniversary, haven’t you?

You might benefit from learning about these forms too:

Some people use “forgot” as the past participle in spoken English. Informally, this is fine. However, you should avoid using “forgot” as the past participle in written English.

When Is “Forgot” Correct?

“Forgot” is correct when used as the simple past tense. We do this to talk about “forgetting” something in the past and thinking about whatever it is we “forgot.”

Some people use “forgot” as the past participle as well, but we don’t recommend you do this. There are no grammatical cases where “forgot” works as the past participle unless you use it in spoken English (since the rules are more relaxed there).

Example Sentences Using “Forgot”

We only want to focus on “forgot” as the simple past tense. While we touched on it being somewhat correct informally as the past participle, that doesn’t mean you should find a use for it in written pieces.

  • You forgot to mention that it would be difficult to achieve!
  • We forgot to tell you about our adventure!
  • I forgot about my homework.
  • She forgot that we were supposed to meet for a date.
  • They forgot all about you!
  • He forgot to tell me what he was so desperate to say.

“Forgot” is the simple past tense; we use it to talk about “forgetting” something in the past and remembering what happened. Usually, “forgot” works to tell someone what it is you’ve “forgotten” to mention or do.

While it’s not formally correct, you might occasionally see “forgot” as the past participle.

  • You have forgot everything I taught you.
  • I have forgot what you wanted me to do.

It’s not wise to use this in writing. You should only do so in spoken English because it’s acceptable there.

When Is “Forgotten” Correct?

“Forgotten” is the only correct past participle form we can use in written English. It would help you to understand more about it and when it’s correct, so pay attention to this bit!

“Forgotten” is correct when we include a helping verb with it. That means verbs like “have” are useful, and the phrase “have forgotten” becomes the present perfect tense. This is one of three possible tenses we can use with a past participle.

The other tenses can all be shown as follows :

  • Past perfect: Had forgotten
  • Present perfect: Have forgotten
  • Future perfect: Will have forgotten

You’ll notice that “forgotten” never changes form, regardless of the tense we use. However, “have” changes tense based on which perfect tense we’re using, and it would help for you to remember the different tenses.

Example sentences using “Forgotten”

Since “forgotten” is the correct past participle form, we’ll show you each of the three present tenses in different sections.

Past Perfect

  • You had forgotten what was important to you before I came along and told you.
  • She had forgotten her way, but I managed to help her.

“Had forgotten” refers to someone “forgetting” something in the past that came before another past event. We usually use the past perfect tense to talk about the order things happened in the past.

Present Perfect

  • You have forgotten everything I’ve taught you, and I am saddened.
  • We have forgotten our way back to the plant!

“Have forgotten” means that someone started to “forget” something at some point in the past. They have continued to “forget” that thing in the present, and it has affected their present state in some way.

Future Perfect

  • You will have forgotten everything I said to you by the morning.
  • She will have forgotten this encounter tomorrow; you can trust me on that.

“Will have forgotten” means that someone is likely to “forget” something in the future. However, that action is dependent on the actions we take in the present as to whether or not it’s a guaranteed thing to happen.

How “Forgotten” can also be used as an adjective

We can use “forgotten” as an adjective as well as the past participle of “forget.”

“Forgotten” means that someone or something is lost in time or not thought about a lot. We use it to talk about old things or things that aren’t worth remembering.

Example sentences using “Forgotten” as an adjective

  • The forgotten artifact is somewhere in these ruins.
  • My forgotten dreams are slowly coming back to me.
  • He is forgotten, and you must move on from him.

“Have Forgot” Vs. “Have Forgotten”

We’ve briefly mentioned that “forgot” is an informal past participle form. It’s mostly used in spoken English since the rules are more relaxed in speaking. However, can we use it to create the perfect tense in the same way?

According to Google Ngram Viewer , “have forgot” is used occasionally, but it’s very rare compared to “have forgotten.” It’s much better to stick to “forgotten” as the past participle, as it’s the correct form and the only one that’s formally recognized.

have forgot vs. have forgotten statistics

  • Correct: I have forgotten everything you told me!
  • Incorrect: I have forgot what you wanted me here to do. (However, this sentence can work in spoken English)

Final Thoughts

“Forgot” is the simple past tense, though there are informal cases where some people use it as the past participle. However, if you want to remain grammatically correct, remember that “forgotten” is the most suitable past participle that you should use.

The 10 Most Common Homework Excuses Teacher's Receive (And How to Come up with Better Ones)

You might wonder why a teacher would want to help you with “I forgot my homework” excuses. It’s simple. I’m tired of hearing the same excuses every time I collect an assignment. I want you to be more creative. The top homework excuses of the past no longer give me the thrill of detective work like they used to. I’ve already figured out a way to shoot them down, to humiliate you, and make you feel silly. I feel like General Zaroff must have felt in “The Most Dangerous Game.” I need a new challenge, so here’s a list of top homework excuses, why you should never use them, and subtle changes you can make to be more effective.

10 Most Common Excuses & How to Improve Them

  • I forgot my homework : That’s weak! You can do better than “I forgot my homework,” Can’t you? Even if you did forget your homework, come up with something more creative than this. Here’s a little trick: “I forgot my homework, but my mom said she’ll bring it in during lunch/after school.” This will buy you a few hours. Do the assignment during lunch and bring it in after school.
  • My printer doesn’t work : Come on! Did your printer work last week? Did it work the day before yesterday? Or did it mysteriously stop working right when you were about to print out your assignment? There are millions of functioning printers in the world. There are probably several at your school, including one in your teacher’s classroom. They’re not going to buy this. Try this one instead: “My printer ran out of ink last night. Can I e-mail it to you when I get home?” This will buy you some time and your teacher isn’t going to check too closely. Just have it e-mailed before 5:00 and you’re safe.
  • I didn’t know it was due today : Are you serious? It’s been on the board for a week-and-a-half. It’s been mentioned every day at the start of class. It’s on the class website. The other 36 kids in the class knew it was due today. Don’t ever try this one. Even if you didn’t know it was due, you should have.
  • I lost it: Try using that one with the power company. Try “my backpack was stolen” or “I left my binder on the bus.”
  • I was absent: Yea, you were sick 5 days ago when I assigned it, but you’ve been here every day since. Didn’t it occur to you that you needed to find out what you missed before it was due. Try “I was really sick last night and was unable to finish it. If you want, I can bring a note from my Mom.”
  • Start crying : This is actually really effective if you’re a girl. If you’re not a girl, don’t try this, nor should you try its sister excuse: “it’s that time of the month.”
  • I cleaned out my notebook and threw it away : Maybe you should clean out your head before using this classic. Nobody believes you threw anything out of your notebook because it’s exploding with papers. Use the “I got my notebook stolen” instead.
  • I didn’t do it : Some teachers may give you some points for honesty, but they already know you didn’t do it.
  • I had a game last night : Most teachers will give you the “so, you think ___________ (name of sport) is more important than _______ (name of class)?” response. If you’re teacher is a huge sports fan and if your team won and if you played an integral role in the victory, you may get a break.
  • I never got the homework: The 38 other students in class all got the assignment and began working on it immediately, but you neither got the assignment nor bothered to ask what the rest of the class was doing?

As you can see, teachers have wised up to your antics. No longer are the traditional excuses gonna cut it. It’s time to evolve into the next generation and challenge your teacher to keep up with your creative homework dodging.

Listen: we know homework isn’t fun, but it is a good way to reinforce the ideas and concepts you’ve learned in class. But what if you’re really struggling with your homework assignments? 

If you’ve looked online for a little extra help with your take-home assignments, you’ve probably stumbled across websites claiming to provide the homework help and answers students need to succeed . But can homework help sites really make a difference? And if so, which are the best homework help websites you can use? 

Below, we answer these questions and more about homework help websites–free and paid. We’ll go over: 

  • The basics of homework help websites 
  • The cost of homework help websites 
  • The five best homework websites out there 
  • The pros and cons of using these websites for homework help 
  • The line between “learning” and “cheating” when using online homework help 
  • Tips for getting the most out of a homework help website

So let’s get started!

The Basics About Homework Help Websites–Free and Paid

Homework help websites are designed to help you complete your homework assignments, plain and simple. 

What Makes a Homework Help Site Worth Using

Most of the best sites allow users to ask questions and then provide an answer (or multiple possible answers) and explanation in seconds. In some instances, you can even send a photo of a particular assignment or problem instead of typing the whole thing out! 

Homework help sites also offer more than just help answering homework questions. Common services provided are Q&A with experts, educational videos, lectures, practice tests and quizzes, learning modules, math solving tools, and proofreading help. Homework help sites can also provide textbook solutions (i.e. answers to problems in tons of different textbooks your school might be using), one-on-one tutoring, and peer-to-peer platforms that allow you to discuss subjects you’re learning about with your fellow students. 

And best of all, nearly all of them offer their services 24/7, including tutoring! 

What You Should Should Look Out For

When it comes to homework help, there are lots–and we mean lots –of scam sites out there willing to prey on desperate students. Before you sign up for any service, make sure you read reviews to ensure you’re working with a legitimate company. 

A word to the wise: the more a company advertises help that veers into the territory of cheating, the more likely it is to be a scam. The best homework help websites are going to help you learn the concepts you’ll need to successfully complete your homework on your own. (We’ll go over the difference between “homework help” and “cheating” a little later!) 

body-gold-piggy-bank-money

You don't need a golden piggy bank to use homework help websites. Some provide low or no cost help for students like you!

How Expensive Are the Best Homework Help Websites?

First of all, just because a homework help site costs money doesn’t mean it’s a good service. Likewise, just because a homework help website is free doesn’t mean the help isn’t high quality. To find the best websites, you have to take a close look at the quality and types of information they provide! 

When it comes to paid homework help services, the prices vary pretty widely depending on the amount of services you want to subscribe to. Subscriptions can cost anywhere from $2 to $150 dollars per month, with the most expensive services offering several hours of one-on-one tutoring with a subject expert per month.

The 5 Best Homework Help Websites 

So, what is the best homework help website you can use? The answer is that it depends on what you need help with. 

The best homework help websites are the ones that are reliable and help you learn the material. They don’t just provide answers to homework questions–they actually help you learn the material. 

That’s why we’ve broken down our favorite websites into categories based on who they’re best for . For instance, the best website for people struggling with math might not work for someone who needs a little extra help with science, and vice versa. 

Keep reading to find the best homework help website for you! 

Best Free Homework Help Site: Khan Academy

  • Price: Free!
  • Best for: Practicing tough material 

Not only is Khan Academy free, but it’s full of information and can be personalized to suit your needs. When you set up your account , you choose which courses you need to study, and Khan Academy sets up a personal dashboard of instructional videos, practice exercises, and quizzes –with both correct and incorrect answer explanations–so you can learn at your own pace. 

As an added bonus, it covers more course topics than many other homework help sites, including several AP classes.

Runner Up: Brainly.com offers a free service that allows you to type in questions and get answers and explanations from experts. The downside is that you’re limited to two answers per question and have to watch ads. 

Best Paid Homework Help Site: Chegg

  • Price: $14.95 to $19.95 per month
  • Best for: 24/7 homework assistance  

This service has three main parts . The first is Chegg Study, which includes textbook solutions, Q&A with subject experts, flashcards, video explanations, a math solver, and writing help. The resources are thorough, and reviewers state that Chegg answers homework questions quickly and accurately no matter when you submit them.  

Chegg also offers textbook rentals for students who need access to textbooks outside of their classroom. Finally, Chegg offers Internship and Career Advice for students who are preparing to graduate and may need a little extra help with the transition out of high school. 

Another great feature Chegg provides is a selection of free articles geared towards helping with general life skills, like coping with stress and saving money. Chegg’s learning modules are comprehensive, and they feature solutions to the problems in tons of different textbooks in a wide variety of subjects. 

Runner Up: Bartleby offers basically the same services as Chegg for $14.99 per month. The reason it didn’t rank as the best is based on customer reviews that say user questions aren’t answered quite as quickly on this site as on Chegg. Otherwise, this is also a solid choice!

body-photomath-logo-2

Best Site for Math Homework Help: Photomath

  • Price: Free (or $59.99 per year for premium services) 
  • Best for: Explaining solutions to math problems

This site allows you to t ake a picture of a math problem, and instantly pulls up a step-by-step solution, as well as a detailed explanation of the concept. Photomath also includes animated videos that break down mathematical concepts to help you better understand and remember them. 

The basic service is free, but for an additional fee you can get extra study tools and learn additional strategies for solving common math problems.

Runner Up: KhanAcademy offers in-depth tutorials that cover complex math topics for free, but you won’t get the same tailored help (and answers!) that Photomath offers. 

Best Site for English Homework Help: Princeton Review Academic Tutoring

  • Price: $40 to $153 per month, depending on how many hours of tutoring you want 
  • Best for: Comprehensive and personalized reading and writing help 

While sites like Grammarly and Sparknotes help you by either proofreading what you write via an algorithm or providing book summaries, Princeton Review’s tutors provide in-depth help with vocabulary, literature, essay writing and development, proofreading, and reading comprehension. And unlike other services, you’ll have the chance to work with a real person to get help. 

The best part is that you can get on-demand English (and ESL) tutoring from experts 24/7. That means you can get help whenever you need it, even if you’re pulling an all-nighter! 

This is by far the most expensive homework site on this list, so you’ll need to really think about what you need out of a homework help website before you commit. One added benefit is that the subscription covers over 80 other subjects, including AP classes, which can make it a good value if you need lots of help!  

body-studtypool-logo

Best Site for STEM Homework Help: Studypool

  • Best for: Science homework help
  • Price: Varies; you’ll pay for each question you submit

When it comes to science homework help, there aren’t a ton of great resources out there. The best of the bunch is Studypool, and while it has great reviews, there are some downsides as well. 

Let’s start with the good stuff. Studypool offers an interesting twist on the homework help formula. After you create a free account, you can submit your homework help questions, and tutors will submit bids to answer your questions. You’ll be able to select the tutor–and price point–that works for you, then you’ll pay to have your homework question answered. You can also pay a small fee to access notes, lectures, and other documents that top tutors have uploaded. 

The downside to Studypool is that the pricing is not transparent . There’s no way to plan for how much your homework help will cost, especially if you have lots of questions! Additionally, it’s not clear how tutors are selected, so you’ll need to be cautious when you choose who you’d like to answer your homework questions.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Using Homework Help Sites?

Homework help websites can be a great resource if you’re struggling in a subject, or even if you just want to make sure that you’re really learning and understanding topics and ideas that you’re interested in. But, there are some possible drawbacks if you don’t use these sites responsibly. 

We’ll go over the good–and the not-so-good–aspects of getting online homework help below. 

3 Pros of Using Homework Help Websites 

First, let’s take a look at the benefits. 

#1: Better Grades Beyond Homework

This is a big one! Getting outside help with your studies can improve your understanding of concepts that you’re learning, which translates into better grades when you take tests or write essays. 

Remember: homework is designed to help reinforce the concepts you learned in class. If you just get easy answers without learning the material behind the problems, you may not have the tools you need to be successful on your class exams…or even standardized tests you’ll need to take for college. 

#2: Convenience

One of the main reasons that online homework help is appealing is because it’s flexible and convenient. You don’t have to go to a specific tutoring center while they’re open or stay after school to speak with your teacher. Instead, you can access helpful resources wherever you can access the internet, whenever you need them.

This is especially true if you tend to study at off hours because of your extracurriculars, work schedule, or family obligations. Sites that offer 24/7 tutoring can give you the extra help you need if you can’t access the free resources that are available at your school. 

#3: Variety

Not everyone learns the same way. Maybe you’re more of a visual learner, but your teacher mostly does lectures. Or maybe you learn best by listening and taking notes, but you’re expected to learn something just from reading the textbook . 

One of the best things about online homework help is that it comes in a variety of forms. The best homework help sites offer resources for all types of learners, including videos, practice activities, and even one-on-one discussions with real-life experts. 

This variety can also be a good thing if you just don’t really resonate with the way a concept is being explained (looking at you, math textbooks!).

Not so fast. There are cons to homework help websites, too. Get to know them below!

3 Cons of Using Homework Help Websites 

Now, let’s take a look at the drawbacks of online homework help. 

#1: Unreliable Info

This can be a real problem. In addition to all the really good homework help sites, there are a whole lot of disreputable or unreliable sites out there. The fact of the matter is that some homework help sites don’t necessarily hire people who are experts in the subjects they’re talking about. In those cases, you may not be getting the accurate, up-to-date, and thorough information you need.

Additionally, even the great sites may not be able to answer all of your homework questions. This is especially true if the site uses an algorithm or chatbot to help students…or if you’re enrolled in an advanced or college-level course. In these cases, working with your teacher or school-provided tutors are probably your best option. 

#2: No Clarification

This depends on the service you use, of course. But the majority of them provide free or low-cost help through pre-recorded videos. Watching videos or reading info online can definitely help you with your homework… but you can’t ask questions or get immediate feedback if you need it .

#3: Potential For Scamming 

Like we mentioned earlier, there are a lot of homework help websites out there, and lots of them are scams. The review comments we read covered everything from outdated or wrong information, to misleading claims about the help provided, to not allowing people to cancel their service after signing up. 

No matter which site you choose to use, make sure you research and read reviews before you sign up–especially if it’s a paid service! 

body-cheat-cheating-cc0

When Does “Help” Become “Cheating”?

Admittedly, whether using homework help websites constitutes cheating is a bit of a grey area. For instance, is it “help” when a friend reads your essay for history class and corrects your grammar, or is it “cheating”? The truth is, not everyone agrees on when “help” crosses the line into “cheating .” When in doubt, it can be a good idea to check with your teacher to see what they think about a particular type of help you want to get. 

That said, a general rule of thumb to keep in mind is to make sure that the assignment you turn in for credit is authentically yours . It needs to demonstrate your own thoughts and your own current abilities. Remember: the point of every homework assignment is to 1) help you learn something, and 2) show what you’ve learned. 

So if a service answers questions or writes essays for you, there’s a good chance using it constitutes cheating. 

Here’s an example that might help clarify the difference for you. Brainstorming essay ideas with others or looking online for inspiration is “help” as long as you write the essay yourself. Having someone read it and give you feedback about what you need to change is also help, provided you’re the one that makes the changes later. 

But copying all or part of an essay you find online or having someone write (or rewrite) the whole thing for you would be “cheating.” The same is true for other subjects. Ultimately, if you’re not generating your own work or your own answers, it’s probably cheating.

5 Tips for Finding the Best Homework Help Websites for You

Now that you know some of our favorite homework help websites, free and paid, you can start doing some additional research on your own to decide which services might work best for you! Here are some top tips for choosing a homework help website. 

Tip 1: Decide How You Learn Best 

Before you decide which site or sites you’re going to use for homework help, y ou should figure out what kind of learning style works for you the most. Are you a visual learner? Then choose a site that uses lots of videos to help explain concepts. If you know you learn best by actually doing tasks, choose a site that provides lots of practice exercises.

Tip 2: Determine Which Subjects You Need Help With

Just because a homework help site is good overall doesn’t mean that it’s equally good for every subject. If you only need help in math, choose a site that specializes in that area. But if history is where you’re struggling, a site that specializes in math won’t be much help. So make sure to choose a site that you know provides high-quality help in the areas you need it most. 

Tip 3: Decide How Much One-On-One Help You Need 

This is really about cost-effectiveness. If you learn well on your own by reading and watching videos, a free site like Khan Academy is a good choice. But if you need actual tutoring, or to be able to ask questions and get personalized answers from experts, a paid site that provides that kind of service may be a better option.

Tip 4: Set a Budget 

If you decide you want to go with a paid homework help website, set a budget first . The prices for sites vary wildly, and the cost to use them can add up quick. 

Tip 5: Read the Reviews

Finally, it’s always a good idea to read actual reviews written by the people using these homework sites. You’ll learn the good, the bad, and the ugly of what the users’ experiences have been. This is especially true if you intend to subscribe to a paid service. You’ll want to make sure that users think it’s worth the price overall!

In school, everyone was busy. Some were reading, others were writing. Then, it hit me. I had forgotten to do my homework! I felt a chill run down my spine. I was worried about what my teacher would say.

250 Words Essay on Day I Forgot To Do My Homework

Introduction.

One day, I forgot to do my homework. It was a day like any other, but this small mistake changed my whole experience.

The Usual Routine

Usually, I am very good at remembering to do my homework. After school, I eat a snack, relax a bit, and then start my homework. I try to finish it before dinner so I can have the rest of the evening to myself. But that day was different.

The Day of Forgetfulness

On this day, I had a lot of fun playing with my friends after school. We played football, laughed, and lost track of time. When I got home, I was so tired that I just wanted to rest. I ate dinner and went to bed early, completely forgetting about my homework.

The Next Day at School

The next day at school, I realized my mistake. My heart sank when my teacher asked us to hand in our homework. I felt a cold sweat as I told her that I had forgotten to do it. I was worried about her reaction and the possible punishment.

Learning from the Experience

My teacher was understanding but reminded me of the importance of responsibility. I felt embarrassed but learned a valuable lesson that day. From then on, I made a point to always remember my homework. I also learned that it’s okay to make mistakes as long as we learn from them.

In conclusion, the day I forgot to do my homework was a day of learning. It reminded me of my responsibilities and the importance of time management. It was a small mistake, but it taught me a big lesson.

500 Words Essay on Day I Forgot To Do My Homework

Everyone has had that one day when they forgot to do their homework. It might have been due to a busy schedule, a sudden event, or simply a forgetful mind. For me, that day was unforgettable because it taught me an important lesson about responsibility and time management.

The Usual Day

It was a normal day at school. I was busy with classes, sports, and other activities. The teachers gave us homework, as they always did, to be completed by the next day. I remember receiving a math assignment, an essay for English, and a science project. I made a mental note to finish them all when I got home.

Distractions at Home

When I got home, I was greeted by my little brother who wanted to play. I decided to spend some time with him, thinking I could do my homework later. After playing, I was tired and decided to watch some TV and relax. Soon, it was time for dinner, and after that, I was so tired that I went straight to bed, completely forgetting about the homework.

The Realization

The next morning, I woke up and got ready for school as usual. It was only when I was on the school bus, chatting with my friends about their homework, that I realized I had forgotten to do mine. I felt my stomach drop. I was worried about what my teachers would say and how it would affect my grades.

The Consequences

At school, my teachers were disappointed. They pointed out that forgetting to do homework was a sign of irresponsibility. They explained the importance of homework in reinforcing what we learn at school. I felt embarrassed and regretful. I received a lower grade for my math assignment and was asked to submit my English essay and science project the next day.

Lessons Learned

That day, I learned a valuable lesson about responsibility and time management. I realized that I should have prioritized my homework over playing and relaxing. I also understood the importance of writing down my tasks to avoid forgetting them. From then on, I started using a planner to keep track of my assignments and manage my time better.

The day I forgot to do my homework was a wake-up call for me. It taught me about the consequences of neglecting my responsibilities and the importance of managing my time wisely. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, but it was definitely a lesson worth learning. From then on, I made sure to always complete my homework on time, no matter what distractions I faced at home.

In the end, we all make mistakes, but what matters is what we learn from them. Forgetting to do my homework was a mistake, but it taught me to be more responsible and better at managing my time. It was a day I’ll never forget, not because of the embarrassment, but because of the valuable lesson it taught me.

That’s it! I hope the essay helped you.
