Sorry, I wrote it in a rush due to being in class. What I meant was that if I am in a situation where it is CURRENTLY raining, should i use " it is raining and i didn't bring my wallet" or "it is raining while i don't bring my wallet"? I chose the former and my friends chose the latter.Welcome to the forum, Saul.
You may wish to contact a moderator to correct your incorrect title to this thread.
Note that "I" is ALWAYS capitalized. This is not an option, and writing the first person singular pronoun as "I" is lazy, sloppy, and invariably wrong.
While I believe I may know what you are asking, could you clarify exactly what your question is?
Yes, that's probably the most usual way to say it in BE. I think that in AE (as Redwood says) "I didn't bring" is also appropriate - or perhaps it's preferred.You have to say it this way.
It's raining, and I haven't brought my umbrella.
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't " i haven't brought my umbrella" means i didnt bring it yet, but i will be later? But what if the rain is predicted to have stopped not long after i said that sentence so i won't need my umbrella afterwards and just saying that i did not bring it and will not bring it?Yes, that's probably the most usual way to say it in BE.

"I don't bring my umbrella" suggests that I am in the habit of not bringing my umbrella.
"Haven't brought" means that I did not grab the umbrella (presumably as I left home) and as a consequence I don't have it on me now." i haven't brought my umbrella" means i didnt bring it yet, but i will be later?
Just mentioning that "I haven't brought my umbrella" sounds very British. It's perfectly correct of course, but AE speakers would be more likely to say "I didn't bring my umbrella." They mean the same thing.No. "I haven't brought my umbrella" doesn't necessarily imply that I will bring it later.

I have corrected you, as requested, where you were wrong. Eight separate times, after politely apologizing, you used i instead of I.Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't " i haven't brought my umbrella" means i didnt bring it yet, but i will be later?
