What kind of error is it?

Has wrote or has written. What's correct?

Tense agreement error

Why do people make this mistake?

People often confuse the past participle form "written" with the simple past tense form "wrote". Both have similar meanings related to past actions, leading to mix-ups in verb conjugation.

What is correct?

The correct form is "has written" because the present perfect tense requires the auxiliary verb "has" or "have" followed by the past participle, not the simple past form.

Examples of correct usage

She has written a letter.
He has written his report already.
They have written several books.
