Do you know what's the difference between "been to" and "gone to"?
Do you know what's the difference between "been to" and "gone to"?
Let's have a look at these two sentences:
- David has been to Japan.
- David has gone to Japan.
Is there any difference in the meaning?
There sure is!
"Gone to" means that you've travelled to some place and haven't returned yet.
Examples:
- Jessica has gone to the supermarket. I wonder, when will she come back?
- Dennis has gone to France for the summer, so you can call again in September.
"Been to" means that you've travelled to some place and have already returned.
Examples:
- Mark has been to the supermarket. Now he's taking a shower.
- Joe has been to France five times, so he is very familiar with this country.
So... back to our original sentences, here's the difference between them:
- David has been to Japan = David has travelled to Japan and back.
- David has gone to Japan = David has travelled to Japan and hasn't returned yet.
