This is a very common mistake in the course: If there is stress on the fact that the action has been completed, it kinda implies the usage of present perfect tense (happened in the (unspecified) past - overlaps into the present / we are talking about it + 'already' is almost always used with a perfect tense), but the system only accepts translations that use past simple tense. This is really disturbing, because thus DL requires us to write incorrect English translations.

'We HAVE already finished the dessert' should be accepted.

Wouldn't it need to have a 过 to be translated into the present perfect

This one is quite pedantic. There are lots of ways to say it, but only one gets approval.

[WilliamMcG588326]

When someone is learning a language is should be as easy as possible for the learner without trying to figure out what is or is not accepable. I wonder how many people got discouraged and gave up becouse of your overly ridgid translation

At times I am learning more Chinglish than Chinese

Can't imagine an English-speaking person uttering this sentence without "have" in it in one form or another.

[dTanMan]

I think "We've already had dessert" has the same meaning, and could be accepted.

[ShaneCrill]

It a better translation than what duolingo gives.

[CharlesEva1]

YesTells me you need the article "the." No you don't.

[MattCotton5]

"We finished eating dessert already" should be acceptable.

[SmithUA01]

For regional and class reasons, a lot of people in Britain would expect "pudding" to be acceptable as an alternative to "dessert". Possibly also "sweet" (as a noun)

[JGreene68356]

Why is the hint for "了" in this question "got / anymore"?

[Fanlili27]

"We have already finished eating a dessert" should be accepted

[Salam333]

我们已经吃完了甜点

[Chris50653]

We've already eaten all the dessert should be correct. Chi wan le, like mai bai le means all gone

[e1VpVxkl]

Please, can you write "mai bai le" in Chinese characters? Thanks in advance!

[AngieTai1]

We have already finished eating the dessert.

Why "we are already finished eat the dessert" is not correct

[AndrewWatts18]

That is not correct English. Nor is the surrounding question. (The "is" needs to be before the quote). The closest correct version of your sentence would be "We have already finished eating the dessert."; note the "have" and "eating" rather than "are" and "eat". You could say "We are finished eating the dessert", but that doesn't sound right with an "already" in the sentence (maybe at the end?). Honestly, the correct answer they gave really is the best.
