Hi everyone,

a) Turn it in as soon as you've finished your assignment.

Ryo,

Answer

The first sentence is correct. The second is not. You need to use “you have” or “you’ve” here.

Answer

b) would be written like this..

Turn it in as soon as you finish your assignment.

There is no difference in meaning.

Normally you would put 'it' after you have said 'your assignment'..

Turn your assignment in as soon as you have finished it.
