what is the tense of " i was not done talking" ?. Is it "past perfect countinuous" ?

just past simple tense.
Verb: to be (am not)
adj: done
Gerund: talking.
the same sentence: I haven't not fisnished talking yet

Dude, what the hell do the following phrases mean?
1. Reservation of tempo
2.Check-in backpack

it's simple past tense, the verb here is to be and done is past participle acting as adjective while talking is gerund

After 2 months of learning Dutch i have realized that our language is really difficult, we have a lot of personal pronouns, unlike English or Dutch, it just has a few.

No doubt about it, Vietnamese is complicated due to its honorific titles, unclear tense, various usages of words as well as the meanings of them based on the context.

Does it necessary to use accurately the tense when we talking in our daily life ? . For example, we do not use much the the past perfect continuous or the present perfect continuous for general speaking right ? Because i'm studying abroad and i only have heard my friends use the present, present perfect, the future and simple past . it is rarely to hear they use past perfect or something else.

I think so. Since daily conversations hardly use complicated construction, and it doesn't require precise much either.
