she has received

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English to emphasize the completion of an action that has relevance to the present.

Use "she has received" when you want to emphasize that the action of receiving has been completed and has relevance to the present moment.

  • She deserves the congratulations she has received and of course I would like to add my own.

  • This is despite the fact that she receives verbal support - by Mr Clinton only a few days ago -and the fact that she has received both the Nobel Prize and Sakharov Prize for her peaceful protest.
