Skills be improved or improve?
Hello. I have a question about if I should use passive form.
"During my undergraduate years, my language skills have been dramatically improved."
Should it be like this, or
During my undergraduate years, my language skills have dramatically improved."
?????
Both sounds natural to me. Could anyone please help me? Thank you!!:)
