Asked Polish Sheldon, in disgust.

[Ollyfer]

I just imagined if he also stood too close to the mirror... The horror, the horror...

[jonjaros]

In the answer
ben using should read been using

[betizia]

Petree!!

Would użyłeś also work, and if not what does it describe/mean in this sentence, when it would have been used?

[alik1989]

It would, but it would refer to a one-time event. We could translate it with the past simple or present perfect, but not with the continuous aspect.

[Ines357762]

Were using is imperfect past
Have used is perfect past
Is the this verb the same for both?

[Jellei]

I wish that Polish aspects (perfective/imperfective) translated that easily into English tenses, but unfortunately it's not that easy.

Imperfective "używałeś" seems to translate to continuous "were you using", but with the many possible implications the English verbs have, "have you used" should also be considered a possible answer.

In theory perfective "użyłeś" should be "did you use" or "have you used" (it implies using it on some specific occasion), but, well, English isn't as easy.

Should be: Did you use my toothbrush.

Why? It's accepted, btw.
