Grammar question

"Has anyone ever wrote a literature review because I need serious help"

Should it be wrote or written? The person who wrote this is adamant that wrote is correct because its a past tense question (I don't know what that means) but I am certain that the past participle should be used, especially considering they used the auxillary verb to have.

Help me CaB, you're my only hope.

[Cerys]

It should be 'written'.  Ask them if they'd say 'has anyone went' instead of 'has anyone gone', and then give them a stiff slap if they tell you they would.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

It's definitely "written". Call this person a stupid bastard.

[bgmnts]

Love you both, was shitting myself that I lost my last brain cell.

[Rev+]

Definitely 'written'.  If you can get this idiot in the back of a van I'm sure we could arrange some linguistic correction.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

"Have" requires the past participle, which is "written"

"Have you written a literature review?"

"You wrote a literature review?"

You're right, it's the present perfect tense (have + past participle)

I love that Nas album It Was Wrote.

How can you even have a conversation with this idiot

[pigamus]

To be fair, they'd be right without the "have" in there throwing them off.

I wrote an essay.
She wrote an essay.
They wrote an essay.

I have written an essay.
She has written an essay.
They have written an essay.

[touchingcloth]

I wrote an essay.
She wrote an essay.
They wrote an essay.

I have written an essay.
She has written an essay.
They have written an essay.

I can't think of a way of forming the question from the OP using "wrote", though, even when slipping into Yoda-speak.

To be charitable to the person the OP mentions, they're probably confused because the verb is irregular and are hyper-correcting because of that. "Well I don't write "they writed me an email yesterday", therefore the correct form to use for the past is "wrote"."

These people have wrote a lot of stuff

[FredNurke]

Is the person in question Scottish? Scottish English (or some varieties of it, anyway) uses the past tense rather than the past participle when constructing the perfect.

[touchingcloth]

Murder, She Written.

[Buelligan]

English, as she is spuke.

[jobotic]

Murder, She Written.

Now it's like "Murder, She Written"

Yeah it's not Standard English but it's grammatically fine, at least depending on the dialect.

Yeah it's not Standard English but it's grammatically fine, at least depending on the dialect.

Yeah, it's not a distinctively Scottish thing, lots of dialects of English (in Scotland, North America, England, and elsewhere) have non-standard past participles and past tenses: "I've went", "I've gave", "I've ran", "I've telled" (in Scots pronounced "telt" and often spelt that way), but also the other way round "He done it", and other non-standard forms like "he et" or "he had gotten"; and "to be" has a huge range of variants. Some dialects like Geordie seem particularly distinctive in their verb forms ("I've rang", "I done", "it was took", "give" as past tense and past participle, etc). With such phenomena, there seems some dispute over whether it's the persistence of earlier dialect forms or the result of simplification where the number of verb forms are reduced; it probably varies from case to case.

"Has anyone ever wrote a literature review because I need serious help"

It could use a comma between "review" and "because" as well. In fact, "because" could be replaced with "as" - then there's the knotty problem of whether it should be re-worded completely to include a question mark.  I'm great fun at parties.
