The conversation between human and AI assistant.
"What has passed is past" vs "What passed is past", which one is correct?
Why is that?
The use of "has passed" indicates that the past action is still relevant in the present. It suggests that the speaker is acknowledging the impact that the past event has had on the present. Using "passed" without the auxiliary verb "has" implies that the event is over and done with, with no continuing impact on the present.
