'Sally have gone ...' is incorrect.

The verb form 'have' is only used with I, we, you,or they (or with the corresponding nouns for they,e.g. "Sally and John (they) have gone ...")

The third person singular form of the verb 'to have' is has.

Compare: I have ..., She has ...

EXAMPLES, using the verb 'to have':

PRESENT SIMPLE tense

  • I have a dog. We have a small house. You have nice eyes. They have a big car.
  • He has black hair. She has ginger hair. A lizard (it) has no hair.

PRESENT PERFECT tense (Used where a past event has a present effect)

  • I/we/you/they have gone ... (= not here now because 'have gone')
  • He/she/it has gone ...

PAST PERFECT tense (Used where a past event happened before another past event)

  • I/we/you/he/she/it/they had gone ....

    e.g. John had waited fifteen minutes for me at the bus stop but I was very late arriving and he had gone before I eventually got there.

Therefore "Sally (she) had gone ...." is correct.

EXAMPLE OF USAGE

'It was announced on the news that all flights to Germany were cancelled due to a baggage-handlers' strike. Fortunately, Sally had gone to Germany before the strike came into effect.'

SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS:

Oh, dude, it's "Gone are the days." Unless you're a time traveler reminiscing about days that have already passed, then I guess you could say "Gone were the days." But, like, let's stick with the present tense for now, okay?
