✕Common Mistakes
Ja, der Ort hat gleich geblieben.
“Bleiben” forms the perfect with “sein”, not “haben”.
Ja, der Ort ist geblieben gleich.
The adverb “gleich” normally precedes the participle.

You need the past participle “geblieben”, not the infinitive.

Cultural Tip
In German, the perfect of “bleiben” always uses “sein” as the auxiliary, not “haben”. The collocation “gleich geblieben” is idiomatic and sounds natural in both spoken and written German. Avoid translating word‑for‑word from English (“has stayed the same”) because the German structure places the adverb before the participle.
