Why English is confusing 1

[tsdragon]

I just ran across this little tidbit in some documentation. The programmer mentions somewhere that his native language is Ukranian.

...ColHeaderEndDragEvent occurs when the user has ended to drag a column header.

I suppose if English is not your native language it makes perfect sense: "the user has started to (or begun to)", so why not "the user had ended to"?

P.S. - and not only verbs, pronouns, too, and possessive forms, and some other forms, and genders, but all very logical and systematic. That's the association that came to mind instantly with the example from your language.
