ENGLISH GRAMMAR(English as a Second Language)?
Hello, I'm the person who lives out of English-speaking country.
So, I need native English speakers to correct my English sentence.
It makes no sense to regret what I have done (this year).
With (this year), Without (this year), both sentences are not weird in English grammar?
If so, how come HAVE DONE is red-underlined on Google?
Don't I know well about the function of Google?
or is there anything wrong in the sentence?
I will be waiting for your kind answer.
Thanks in advance.

Your sentence is perfectly OK in British English.
I'm not sure but I believe that US English would prefer "It makes no sense to regret what I did (this year)."
Yahoo answers often rejects individual words because their innocent (UK) meaning has a totally different meaning at the other side of the pond and may cause offence to those who don't know.
Perhaps Google has similar prejudices.
Your sentence makes sense without "this year" but without it you could be talking about any time.
Those grammar correcter things are always messed up, so don't rely on them.
Just so you know, in the first sentence of your question, it should be "an" and not "the". "The" implies that you are the only one.
