Grammar

〜てある

Reading: てある

Meanings: something is done, result of action

Explanation

introduction

explanation

*てある* attaches to the `て-form` of a **transitive** `verb` and expresses that the **result of an intentional action** remains. Someone did something on purpose, and that state is still visible.

explanation

The object of the action is marked with *が* or *は* (not *を*), because the focus is on the **resulting state**, not on who did it.
