What part of speech is has been?

"Has been" is a verb phrase.

Here's why:

* Has is the third-person singular present tense of the auxiliary verb "have".

* Been is the past participle of the verb "be".

* Together, they form a verb phrase that is used to express the present perfect tense (something that began in the past and continues to the present or has a result in the present).

For example:

"She has been to the store."
