conjugate : to go
In the exercise of the conjugation of "to go" I have a lot of difficulties.
But, in the folowing exercise I don't find the verb "to go" in the correction. Why ? How can you explain that ?
""have been gone" is false; "have been" is correct. We use the present perfect tense to describe an action which happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. The phrase 'in the last year' indicates a period of time which is unspecified, (any time from 365 days ago until the present). We often use the present perfect to speak of an experience which occurred some time in the past (I have been to Rome, I have seen that movie before, etc). The present perfect tense is constructed with 'has/have' + past participle."
Thank you
