passive present and past perfect?
Hi,
I am encountering sentences that haa 'has been compiled/done' or 'had been compiled/done.' I don't think any of the two focuses on duration like the present perfect continuous or past perfect continous but I can't dispel the notion that it might do at least some level of stressing. Do they focus on something done to them, without much emphasis on the agent or do they stress, no matter how small in amount, the duration?
