I have tried explaining to those who disagree:<br /><br />I have been to<br />I was to<br />I am to<br /><br />Does not work<br /><br />I have been to<br />I went to<br />I go to<br /><br />Works.<br /><br />I'm glad to have found someone who shares the opinion that go, went, gone/been is corect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077301231011402531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123394765654839157.post-23204641090897806632015-12-16T00:52:25.951-08:002015-12-16T00:52:25.951-08:00The Oxford Learners Dictionary seems to agree with...The Oxford Learners Dictionary seems to agree with you<br /><br />http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/go_1Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177891342793593605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123394765654839157.post-50961421480795862172014-09-25T07:15:20.263-07:002014-09-25T07:15:20.263-07:00I am wrestling with whether 'been' is lexi...I am wrestling with whether 'been' is <b>lexically</b> a past participle of 'go' in any sense.<br /><br />'Been' and 'gone' can both occur in certain collocations that are identical, but I find that 'been' always conveys the idea of occupation of a continuing, repeating, or habitual state or presence in a location, whereas 'gone' does not have that implication and sometimes seems to exclude that interpretation.<br /><br />I <i>hypothesize</i> that <b>all</b> occurrences of the collocations in which both 'been' and 'gone' can occur as past participles can also have other tenses of both 'be' and 'go' with the aspectual difference in meaning more apparent.DCDuringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07206973226720049961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123394765654839157.post-16674825812695085662014-09-10T00:54:32.509-07:002014-09-10T00:54:32.509-07:00I agree wholeheartedly.I agree wholeheartedly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633812523868645842noreply@blogger.com
