Jan 7, 2022 at 13:22 | comment | added | Stephen | So do you mean "X has been burned" can't go with a period of time? Just like "I've learned to swim" can't go with a period of time? | |
Jan 7, 2022 at 12:21 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | The construction X has been burned for two hours would mean X was burned two hours ago (by a single "action" that took place at that point in the past). But it's not very idiomatic, and I can't easily think of any contexts where anyone might actually say those words. | |
