Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the correct past participle form "obtained" instead of "obtain" when using the present perfect tense "has been". For example, use "the data has been obtained" instead of "the data has been obtain".
Common error
Avoid using the base form of the verb after "has been". Remember that the past participle (obtained, secured, received) is required to form the present perfect passive voice. Using "obtain" instead of "obtained" results in a grammatically incorrect sentence.

Ludwig's WRAP-UP
The phrase "has been obtain" is grammatically incorrect; the accurate phrasing is "has been obtained". Ludwig AI highlights that the past participle 'obtained' is essential for the present perfect passive tense. While the intent is to communicate that something has been acquired, using the base form 'obtain' results in a grammatical error. Correct usage fits into formal contexts such as science, but its low frequency suggests caution. Remember to use the proper past participle to ensure grammatical correctness.
