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. |
