Grammar

Have been vs Has been

In this case I am not refereing to a person, I am talking about a code block which is moved from one server to another.

Question 1:

Which is correct?

Website changes have been moved to testserver.
or
Website changes has been moved to testserver.

Question 2:
Is there any grammer table/matrix which shows how to form a correct sentance with grammar.
  

Top answer

It is the "changes" that have been moved to the test server. Because they are in the plural, you need to use "have been" which is the plural. As for your second question, I'm not sure I understand.

  • It is the "changes" that have been moved to the test server.
  • Because they are in the plural, you need to use "have been" which is the plural.
  • As for your second question, I'm not sure I understand.
  • There will never be a table or matrix which shows how a grammatically correct sentence is formed, partly because language is constantly changing, but also because languages are highly complicated.
  • There is something called Generative Grammar, which was founded by Noam Chomsky, that tries to develop a set of rules that will give rise to grammatically correct sentences.

have been moved is correct because changes plural = have. another version could be = changed website has moved because website is singular = has.
