00:00 Why are these sentences wrong?
Look at these two sentences. I went to the dentist's. I've gone to the dentist's. Why are these two sentences both wrong? Well, in this video I'm going to tell you and I'm going to explain the difference between I went and I have gone. Are you ready?
I recently asked my emailing list which topics they would like me to do a video about. All of these people requested the difference between I went and I have gone, so thank you for the recommendation. So, before I can explain the difference between I went and I have gone, we first need to look at which tense these are. I went is the past simple and I have gone is the present perfect.
00:56 When to use the past simple and present perfect tenses?
Now, generally speaking, we use the past simple to talk about an action that has happened in a time period that has finished. When I say a time period that has finished, I mean things like yesterday, last week, last month, last year, these are all periods of time which are completely in the past. We can't change them. It's happened, it's in the past, it's gone, it's finished, it's done. Bam!
However, we use the present perfect.... present perfect... so it's both present and past... we use the present perfect to talk about a time period that started in the past and is still present now. It's still happening now.
In other words, things like today, this week, this year, in my life. These are all things which started in the past and are still happening now. We also use the present perfect when an action happened in the past, but it has a clear result and a clear effect on the present. And a good example of this is I've lost my keys. I've lost my keys. In other words, the action of losing my keys has happened, but it has a clear effect on the present because I can't open the door, I can't enter my house. Why not? Because I've lost my keys.
So taking all this into consideration, we use I went when we are talking about the action of to go in a time period that happened in the past, it's done, it's finished, it's gone. Bam. We can't change it. For example, last year I went to England or I have to go to the doctor's tomorrow, but I only went yesterday. I only went yesterday. Went because we're talking about a time period in the past.
3:13 I have been or I have gone?
(Transcription unavailable)
6:16 I went or I have gone to the dentist?
So if I'm talking about where I am now, I'm talking about the action of going, which started in the past, but it's still true. Now I'm at the dentist. It's now. So we can't say I went. We could say I went to the dentist yesterday, but not Where are you? "I went to the dentist". No. Instead I need to use the present perfect.
So should I say "I have gone to the dentist"? Well, I could and I definitely would if I was talking about somebody else. Where's your wife? She's gone to the dentist. But if I'm sitting in the dentist now and I'm talking to you, I'm not going to say I've gone to the dentist. I would say I've come to the dentist because if I'm talking about a place where I am, then I use come instead of go, I've come to the dentist.
7:20 Conclusion: I went v I have gone
So in conclusion, we use I WENT to talk about something that happened in the past with little effect on the present. And if we mention the time period there is a time period that has finished, we definitely have to use I WENT. And we use I HAVE GONE when I went somewhere and I am still there. But as I mentioned earlier, if it's I who is talking and I is in the place then I is going to say I have come instead of I have gone. So, he has gone and she has gone or they have gone are much more common than I have gone.

Ex: She gave me a lovely present. --> The present she gave me was/is lovely --> The present she gave to me was/is lovey. Which one is correct? We would use 'gave me' or 'gave to me' and 'was' or 'is'? I will appreciate if you could help me!

I can understand Cajun accents rather well, whereas some cannot. We have differences in the way we pronounce certain vowels and consonants, but in general, I think most Americans like the British accent. If I were to choose, RP is easy to understand and rather pleasing to the ear. Of course there are some word differences, just as there are between Brazilian and European Portuguese. I rather enjoy the São Paulo accent of Portuguese. I find it more understandable than Portuguese from Portugal, but I don’t want to start any trouble. Haha 😂 Obrigado pela sua pergunta.

One would never used the sentence "I have gone to the dentist" standing alone without adding additional facts, perhaps that you had several cavities that needed to be filled. Conversely, you wouldn't just say, "I went to the dentist" unless someone asked "where were you," otherwise there would be no context relating to "when" you went to the dentist.

    Given that the question "Where are you?" would normally be asked over the phone, nobody would ever say "I've come to the dentist." In fact, I'd be hard pushed to find a situation in which "I've come to the dentist." would be correct. You might say to the receptionist "I've come for my appointment at 2:30." or perhaps "I've come to get my tooth pulled out." but under what circumstances would you need to announce your location to a person within that location?

    “I have been to the dentist” is a completed action at an unspecified time. “ I went to the dentist” would have a definite time stamp. “ I’ve gone to the dentist “ is ungrammatical and should be “ I have been…” “ He has gone to the dentist “ means he isn’t here , he is out, at the dentist’s.

    @@tatianasantoro7021 Are they not? Obviously there are differences because they're different languages, but for example, "preterito perfecto compuesto" in Spanish and "present perfect" in English are used in pretty much the same way. Also, if we analize their structure there are equivalences: auxiliary and past participle in both. Same happens with Portuguese.

    Oh my gosh, I feel so bad for those who are learning English as a second language. It is so complicated and nonsensical. What a hard task it must be to learn it. I am glad I am a native speaker of English. Learning a foreign language is never easy, but other languages I have studied make much more sense to me than English does. It's so great that You Tube exists and can help people understand its absurdities.

    English is easier than most languages by a long shot. Provided that you start to learn as a kid, there is much room to improve quickly over the years since many TV shows and movies are originally in English, not to mention the resources in the internet. I'm Brazilian and have seldom seen a foreigner who doesn't struggle with basic Portuguese sentences.
