+ info

Have been/Have gone

We use have/has been when someone has gone to a place and returned: A: Where have you been? B: I've just been out to the supermarket. A: Have you ever been to San Francisco? B: No, but I've been to Los Angeles. But when someone has not returned, we use have/has gone: A: Where's Maria? I haven't seen her for weeks. B: She's gone to Paris for a week. She'll be back tomorrow.

Adverbials

But we can use the present perfect with adverbials which refer to a time which is not yet finished: today this week/month/year now that I am 18 etc. Have you seen Helen today? We have bought a new car this week.

We don't use adverbials that refer to a finished past time I have seen that film yesterday.

Present perfect continuous

Important difference

Present perfect is used with stative verbs:I've known John for three years. Present perfect continuous is used with dynamic verbs She's been reading that book the whole day

Actvities
