Reading _Glasperlenspiel_ and noticed once more an instance where the author uses a perfect tense without "hat". Sie strebten nach [..] Klangwirkungen, nach Tönen, die noch kein Ohr gehört; sie suchten ... (Suhrkampt edn, p 28). To me, that sentence ends abruptly, and lacks the word "hat". Is this a style thing? Allowed only in literature? What was/is the rule on this? When can you leave it off? Is that still a thing? submitted by /u/Gwaptiva [link] [comments]
