When indicating that something was in a state of existence, prefer the concise and grammatically correct form "have existed" instead of "have been existed".
Common error
The phrase "have been existed" often arises from mistakenly adding 'been' after 'have' when the verb 'exist' already implies a state of being. Remember that 'exist' is an intransitive verb and doesn't require the passive voice construction that necessitates 'been'.
