Hi Peace, Each sentence brings with it a different meaning. I spend hours to write. Tense: simple present Function: a recurring action (eg a habit) Your hobby is to write and you take hours to do so I spent hours to write. Tense:simple past Function: a past action At some time in the past, you wrote for hours. It also ended in the past. Hope this helps. Cheers, Lance

For me as a native speaker with imperfect grammar, I suggest the following: Both versions are correct. The first is a general statement that you regularly write for many hours (I spend hours writing [something]). The second version is in the past tense (I spent hours writing [something]). Therefore it has already finished. Finally, I would use the gerund (-ing) rather than the infinitive (to write) in both of these sentences unless I were to say something a bit different e.g. "It took me hours to write that" but.this is a very different sentence structure. I don't fully understand the grammar behind it, perhaps your teacher can help. Otherwise you might just be able to learn it as a phrase and work from there. Therefore I would actually say something like: I spend hours writing my English homework. (A regular activity) I spent hours writing my English homework. (A past activity) It took me hours to write my English homework. (Past tense again) There are many other options depending on the tense that you want to use. Good luck!

Hi every one Here we have two differents sentences. The first is in simple present and it is always used to discribe a frequent job or task But the second is in simple past '' spent hours to written '' the only error is we never have ''to'' before the past participle of a verb . So instead of '' spent hours to written '' we have spent hours to write Ok ...
