I would like to know the difference between these two sentences.
"Boku no inu wa aruite iru."
vs. "Boku no inu wa aruite aru."
If I remember correctly, "-te aru" is a verbal form that serves to
indicate a static verbal state. For example, "Hon wa dai ni oite aru
kedo." (I put the book on the stand). What exactly is the function of "-
te aru"?
My Japanese is quite rusty, so I'll need to go over the basics again.
