How do I say it? ...now she left Australia or ...now she has left Australia? Is now a specified time?
Top answer
The second is probably what you want. The now in the sentence refers to the present moment, but it describes a situation that exists now, that she is not in Australia any more. It doesn't tell you exactly when she left.

AnonymousHow do I say it?You probably want "She has now left Australia", but you can put "now" at the beginning or at the end as well.
