By some miracle she found her way.

Does it exit the phrase "find his/her way" in the sense of the Croatian verb "snaći se"?

WHat do you mean when you say snaći se?

If you mean that she was successful at something.

Then a possible translation is:
Miraculously, she managed or miraculously, she got by (with something)

Ako je radnja završena neposredno prije nego se govori,odgovor je uvijek present perfect.
So the table has been set.

Robbie, you got the definition of Past Perfect wrong.
Past Perfect is equal to pluskvanperfekt in Croatian.
It refers to a past action that goes before another past action.
For example.
I had seen him two weeks before I went to war.
Two past actions, (see and go) and the first one is expressed through Past perfect.

U hrv. bi se reklo: Bio sam ga vidio prije nego sto sam otišao...

Definicije za Present Perfect su ti točne, ali u ovom slučaju ne. Past Perfect is more suitable here.
So I hadn't seen him for months and then I suddenly saw him yesterday.
Two past actions...

Professor snowflake.

lol snowflake, tko govori the table has been set


Samo zamisli neku americku/englesku/australsku kucanicu/domacicu kako se dere tu recenicu...

Actually I am a professor of English. It was my second major in college
You can say both, but it was emphasized that the action was immediate, and then it always the Present Perfect.

Why not??

I've just translated the sentence in question.
Because Robbie used it, I think, in a metaphorical sense.
And if so, then this is the appropriate translation.

P.S. Sorry I didn't see that you had quoted Lider and not me.

In my opinion is also more logical to use present perfect in the above-mentioned case, because the action has been finished immediately before the statement.

Of course.
But, anyway, both expressions are correct.
The table is set (the Simple Present, passive voice, the action is seen as a fact)
The fact is somebody set the table.

But if the action was immediate and we want to highlight that, then the Present Perfect is used.

You can use the Present Perfect for the set table but it would sound like you have just completed a very critical job and you are making a loudspeaker announcement to everyone. Well, at least to me lol.

It's important that both expressions are correct. Everything else is a matter of nuances.

Ok. Lets bring some Christmas spirit.
I know you know Christmas vocabulary like Christmas, Christmas Eve, wreath (vijenac), carols and such, but do you know what Boxing Day is and where it is celebrated?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/christmas/0/ ... ebrate-it/
Here is the explanation. It's the name for st. Stephen's Day (December 26th) in the UK and throughout the Commonwealth (not in the US). The alternative name is the second day of Christmas.

It's a huge money spinner owing to all the post-Christmas sales which kick-off on the 26th. Also, some of the most popular sporting fixtures are scheduled for the 26th (Cricket Test in AU and a full round of EPL in England).

Without googling, can you tell me the key usage/intention distinction between "shall" and "should"? In other words, do you think that "shall we" and "should we" are asking the same thing?

"Shall we" as "time is running out...time to go/do now".
"Should we" as "we have to go/do now......but say when you are ready, no hurry....you decide".

Maybe, don`t know.

"Should we" is a proposal which simultaneously contains a request for advice from the other side in conversation. It's a uncertain proposal. (Bismo li trebali?)
"Shall we" is a proposal which contains certainty and a slight portion of obligation (Hoćemo li?).

In my modest opinion and without googling.

"Shall we" is suggesting.
"Should we" is asking (in a situation when you don't know what to do).
