Have/has + part pas, have/has + been + part pas or was + part pas..... Hi ALL, I usually have a big problem to understand if I've to use "have/has + part pas" or "have/has been + part pas" or "was/were + part pas". have/has + part pas we use when speaking about a thing done in the past that continues in the present or about a thing done in the past but we don't indicate a precision time: ex: I've become father a long time ago. I've gone to holiday last year. has/have been + part pas we use when speaking about a thing happened to subject in the past that continues now or we don't indicate a precision time: ex: The document has been written with a error. My friend has never been in prison. was/were + part pas we use when we speaking about a thing happened and terminated in the past but we don't specify the tyme: ex: I was borned in 1971 The document was written from Mario with a mistake, after I've corrected it. Maybe the firsts two are right....however on the last one I have a lot doubts... Thank in advance.

I'm very happy :) Hello everyone, I'm very happy this evening because I done my first skype call with a person that I met here, yes here in Italki, so this is possible. As on Frankistain's movie..... "It can do!!" ;-) Before today I didn't believe much but thanks these new friends, they let me understand and see that instead it's possible. THANK FRIENDS!! I done a call of about 12 minutes, yes I spoke often in Italian but this is the begin and I'm sure that next time will go better...... I hope ;-) After this call I chatted for a long time with another friend, and also in this call I learned new words and new idioms, like as awesome, don't mention, never mind. So, I can tell that it has been a good evening. Thank you again friends, see you soon.
