Hello everyone! Could you please help me out? When would we use the following sentences? I have been in France. I have been to France. Do they mean something different or are they interchangeable? Thanks a lot in advance. |

NOT THE SAME 1. I have been[here] in France for 3 days. Next week I will go to Germany. 2. I have been to France on numerous occasions, but it will be my first time to go to Germany. THE SAME 1. I have been in France before, so I am used to the cuisine. 2. I have been to France before, so I am used to the cuisine. |

I agree with Mary, except that "I have been in France before..." wouldn �t be used by most people. People wouldn �t say "That �s wrong", but it just sounds a little unnatural. Bruce |
