Thanks Emma your are the Best teacher I have had

[lacerdamaritimo]

Emma, you definitely opened a new gate of knowledge on my brain. I'd never ever heard that past participle of "to go" were "gone" and "been" from any instructor.
And the way you explain it, ...wow!!!
You're fabulous!!!
I've always used "I've already/never been to a place.", but I couldn't see no sense in the usage of "been". And now everything makes sense.
You've just set me free, Emma. And I'm thankful for that.
Cheers
