Went is simple past, whereas gone is an ed-participle (traditionally called past participle).

'I haven't gone' is in the perfect aspect, which takes ed-participles.

(Note that certain dialects take 'I haven't went', but it's considered non standard.)



Here is a simple way to think of it as well.
"Went" is past tense, something that has already happened--you can't really say you haven't done something that has already happened. It doesn't make sense.

Other examples include Ate & Eaten.
Ate is something concrete that you have already done, or already has happened.
"I haven't ate yet," is incorrect, unless you have a time machine.
"I haven't eaten yet," is correct.

I haven't spoke <--incorrect.
I haven't spoken

"Went" is the past tence - he went to town yesterday.

The phrase "I haven't" is the present tense.

Thus the correct version is "I haven't gone"

When to use went or gone in sentence?

&quot;Went&quot; is used with simple past tense to describe an action that already happened (&quot;She went to the store&quot;). &quot;Gone&quot; is used with present perfect tense to indicate an action that has already been completed (&quot;She has gone to the store&quot;).


Is it correct to say you were Gone to party?

No. "Gone" is a past participle and it needs the helping verb "have." So, you can say "you have gone to the party." (You need an article-- the party.) But it might be better, more conversational, to use the simple past-- You went to the party. (Went is the irregular past tense of "to go.") There is only one occasion when you can use "were gone"-- referring to the passing of time: You were gone for two hours.


Is it correct to say 'I had gone for dinner' or 'i had gone to take dinner'?

&quot;I had gone for dinner&quot; can be used to say: (past tense) that you went out to get dinner and bring it back - you could instead say: I had gone to get dinner. Alternatively, it could mean (past tense) that you went out to eat dinner - you might want to say: I had gone out to eat dinner. Or, it could mean (past tense) that you were not there for dinner - in this case, a different phrasing could be: I had gone and would not be there for dinner, or, I had gone at dinner time.

You have gone to America in 1998 Is this grammatically correct?

Not really, it would be much better to say "You went to America in 1998" because the presence of the date means it was a specific event in the past. I have gone, or you have gone, implies that you went to stay with no intention of returning.
