A question - Present Perfect
 
Which is the correct option, I am doubtful:
 
SHE HAS GONE / HAS BEEN TO DUBLIN, NOW SHE ISN �T THERE ANYMORE, SHE �S IN KENT. SHE �LL COME HOME NEXT WEEK.
 
Thanks :)

Here, I would use "has been." She went to Dublin, but now she isn �t there. When you use "has gone," you imply that she is still there. "Has been" simply means that she visited Dublin at some point in the past. I hope this helps.

I agree with MoodyMoody,
 
"SHE HAS BEEN TO DUBLIN.  NOW SHE ISN�T THERE ANY MORE.  SHE�S IN KENT.  SHE�LL COME HOME NEXT WEEK".

The answer is certainly "has been". I have been dealing with the present perfect for about a month. So, i am very familiar with the similar usages.
