"我没有带笔记本。"

Translation: I did not bring my notebook.

[Aleksandro_RU]

Why doesn't Duolingo accept perfect forms? Why is "I haven't brought the notebook" incorrect?

[RobinThor]

And "I have not brought my notebook"

[Aleister_Al]

Why is the "I did not bring notebook." is not correct? There is no clearly seen "my" in original sentence.

[TianYuYan89]

You need an article so "I did not bring a notebook" could be correct but the "my" is implied here.

[AmyWen12]

I think the fix would be for Duolingo to replace "my" with "a" here, for clarity

Why wouldn't "I didn't bring the notebook" be correct

[George792719]

I'm like others here. I don't see where there is any possessive case with 'notebook'.

For that it should say:

我没有带我笔记本 or 我没有带我的笔记本

If you use google translate which his pretty accurate for short sentences like this, the answer it gives for this question is:

我没有带笔记本 = 'I didn't bring a notebook'.

[E-li-ke]

I didn't bring any notebook 错吗？

[paulochan007]

This translation is so strict. Notes cannot be considered as a notebook. lol

[sbrlck]

This app instructor is owls

Why is " I did not bring my laptop" not accepted? 笔记本 != Laptop/Notebook?!

[George792719]

Because a computer-like notebook is bǐjìběn diànnǎo or 笔记本电脑

[Felix533496]

Thank you :)
I looked up 笔记本 in a dictionary and all it gave was ‘Notebook’ - so that wasn’t particularly helpful. I then googled 笔记本 and that only returned pictures of Laptops…

[GiovanniDadone]

笔记本 has the character 书 that means book and it is in fact the book where you writes your notes. A laptop is a PC and has the same characters as notebook + 电脑 that are in fact the characters for PC
