语气词

读音:le 轻声
[1]表示肯定语气。如:明天又是星期六了;要过新年了,人们都很高兴;
[2]表示促进或劝止。如:快躲了;别;
[3]表示感叹语气。如:好了!别闹了。

 

here we choose [1]表示肯定语气

 

it gives a tone to your sentence to show your attitude of confirmation on what you just said.

 

i'll give you some more examples:

 

中国经济已经下行很久了

 

or

 

人民币最近贬值了

 

or

 

川普的民调支持率又下降了

 

LOL

I'm not sure your examples line up with my sentence at all, they're all past tense / change of state.  I do agree that point one from your list seems to match my scenario, I just wish I had a more precise explanation of what 表示肯定语气 means - when it is used/acceptable.  I guess I'll keep my eyes and ears open for now.  This type of grammar may be a bit ahead of my level anyway.

Okay this is just my "语感" response. The 了 here I 'feel' is like the 了 in 太好了 or 多好了. It's nothing to do with the aspect, but making it emphatic. In this case I 'feel' like it's working with the 更.
