Hi,

1. When the bust left yesterday is/has been now one hour earlier.
(Yesterday it left at 7 AM; from today onward it leaves at 6 AM.)

2. What used to be an empty space is/has been a parking lot now.

Thank you Emotion: smile

Anonymous Are these sentences idiomatic? I'm sorry to say that they're not at all idiomatic, so let's fix them. The bus used to leave at 7 am, but starting today it will leave an hour earlier.
