BEEN vs GONE - What's the difference? #shorts
Today, I want to look at two words: "been" and "gone." "Been" is the past participle of the verb "be," and "gone" is the past participle of the verb "go." Let's explore their meanings.
BEEN:
We use "been" when we want to say that someone has visited somewhere and then returned.
Examples:
"I've been to Paris twice." (I visited Paris, but now I'm back.)
"She has been to the new museum." (She visited the new museum and returned.)
GONE:
We use "gone" to show that someone has left a place but hasn't returned yet.
Examples:
"He's gone to the shops." (He left for the shops to go shopping, but he hasn't come back yet.)
"They have all gone home." (They left and are not present anymore.)
Now let's compare the two to highlight the difference:
"I've been to London." (I visited London and I've returned.)
"He's gone to London." (He left for London, but he hasn't come back. He's not here right now.)
Remember, "been" is used when someone has traveled and returned, while "gone" is used when someone has left and is not present.
I hope that explanation helps. Thanks for watching, and see you next time.
