Does anyone know whether RISEN is a stative or dynamic verb?

Hi AC

The word 'risen' is the past participle of the verb 'rise'. Rise is dynamic.

Hi AC

The present participle of the verb 'rise' is 'rising'.

'Has risen' is a tense. It is the present perfect (third person singular). To form the present perfect you need the simple present of 'have' + the past participle of the verb.
