So I just encountered the grammar "te aru" and according to Japanesetest4you
it means that _something has been done_. They provide the following sentence
as an example:

> 君の靴下も全部洗濯 **してある** 。  
>  _Kimi no kutsushita mo zenbu sentaku **shite aru**._  
>  'All your socks have also been washed.'

Would it be wrong of me to just say:

> 君の靴下も全部洗濯 **した** 。  
>  _Kimi no kutsushita mo zenbu sentaku **shita**._

Would there be a big difference in meaning?

question
grammar aspect
Japanese grammar "てある”
The difference is like the difference between "they have been washed" and
"(someone) washed them".

> 君{きみ}の靴下{くつした}も全部{ぜんぶ} **洗濯{せんたく}してある**

  * All of your socks **have** also **been washed**

  * Your socks **have** all **been washed** as well

> 君の靴下も全部 **洗濯した**

  * **(I have) washed** all of your socks as well

  * **(She has) washed** all of your socks as well

  * **(He has) washed all** of your socks as well
