Questions & Answers about La profesora ya ha corregido mi redacción.
Why is it ha corregido and not just corrigió?
In Spain Spanish, ha corregido is the present perfect: haber + past participle.
- ha = has (from haber)
- corregido = corrected
Spanish in Spain often uses the present perfect for actions connected to the present, especially with words like ya (already), or for things that happened today / this week / recently.
So La profesora ya ha corregido mi redacción sounds like:
- The teacher has already corrected my essay/composition.
In many parts of Latin America, people would very often say:
- La profesora ya corrigió mi redacción.
Both are correct, but ha corregido is especially typical in Spain in this kind of context.
What does ya mean here, and where does it go in the sentence?
