English Language & Usage Asked by Kgn-web on January 3, 2021
Below are the 2 ways to compose a sentence to convey that a task is assigned to me by my Manager. This task was assigned to me yesterday & still on my list/
I have been assigned to the task
Or
I am assigned to the task.
Which above the 2 is better & why?
If I had to choose between the two, I would opt for, "I have been assigned to the task". It suggests an ongoing commitment to the task. "I am assigned to the task" has a slight suggestion of being only for the current point in time - eg yesterday someone else was assigned to it and tomorrow another person will be.
But personally I would say, "The task has been assigned to me".

I have been assigned to the task
This refers to your being assigned at some time in the past and indicates from the context that you are still assigned.
I am assigned to the task.
This refers to your current state.
Which above the 2 is better & why?
Neither, both are fine.
