Grammar
tense difference
Hi,
I have trouble distinguishing what looks to be an object-less passive (or possibly, a participle acting as an adjective) and present perfect in conceptual terms. How are they different functionally?
Everything is changed. vs. Everything has changed
He is arisen vs. He has arisen
Also, is this correct in terms of grammar? I thought when you have phrase 'since something' , a present perfect is used.
Everything is changed since I knew Him.
