"Have/Has been" or "Have/Has done" or "Is done" twice in a sentence.

"Have/Has been" or "Have/Has done" or "Is done" twice in a sentence.

The check has been sent to the correct address and has been cashed as well.

I couldn't come up with a better example. I would like to know about this kind of sentences where we have to use "Has/have been" or "Is done" twice before and after "And". Some times it feels awkward to use it twice. I hope you understand what I am trying to say because I can't think of a better sentence at the moment. Do we need to use "Have/Has been" or "Have/Has done" or "Is done" twice or we can just omit the second one?

That's okay. "As well" is redundant; it means the same thing as "and".

I think the second "has been" could be omitted.

Tufguy, your sentence is a perfectly correct series of two. In a series, the important thing is parallelism, and you got it right.

Notice how all of these are parallel series:

- The check has been sent to the correct address and has been cashed as well.

- The check has been sent to the correct address and has been cashed.

- The check has been sent to the correct address and been cashed.

- The check has been sent to the correct address and cashed.
​

- The check has been sent and cashed.
​

Notice also that this not a series, it is a compound sentence:

- The check has been sent to the correct address, and it has been cashed as well.​

Okay, so we can omit "Has/Have done" or "Is done" in the second part and just use the past participle. Am I correct?

Please note my changes above. Don't capitalise the first letter inside quotation marks unless the word is a proper noun, the first person singular pronoun "I", or you're quoting an entire sentence.
