after the battle has end

This phrase is incorrect. 'End' should be 'ended' to match the past tense form.

The correct form is 'after the battle has ended', where 'ended' is the past participle form of the verb 'end'.

Alternatives:

  • after the battle has ended
  • after the battle ended

after the battle end

This phrase is incorrect. It is missing the auxiliary verb 'has' before the main verb 'end'.

The correct form is 'after the battle has ended', where 'has' is the auxiliary verb indicating the present perfect tense.

Alternatives:

  • after the battle has ended
  • after the battle ended
The correct phrase is 'after the battle has ended'. The first phrase is incorrect due to the incorrect verb form 'end' instead of 'ended'. The second phrase is also incorrect because it lacks the auxiliary verb 'has'.
