훌륭하네요. 그런데 7페이지에 오타가 두세 개 있어요.
I think it’s wonderful, but I found a couple of typos on page 7.

사실 이미 확인 하였습니다.
Actually, I have already checked it.
사실 = truth, actually, in fact
이미 = already
확인 = identify, confirmation
확인하다 = check on, assure
~하였~ = (?) "했" is short for "하였"
(I understand that verb ends with 이 transformed into 여 like 그리다 into 그려요. I also understand the ㅆ is for past tense. But why there’s 였 in this sentence while 확인하이다 doesn’t mean anything when I search it at dictionary? Why don’t they just write it like: “사실 이미 확인 핬습니다.”?)

Please help me to understand these sentences. I found the Korean sentence and the English translation from various sites like Naver or when I saw them on movie / show. Then, I try to understand each word using the dictionary. This exercise is only for understanding purposes only. Please correct me if I did any mistake in translating or at parts when I put the symbol (?).

Thank you very much and have a nice day.
