English Grammar: "BEEN TO" or "GONE TO"?

Oh, wow, I've definitely never been there before.

Goks! Aku belum pernah kesana sebelumnya

Have you been there before?

Kamu pernah kesana?

While we're on that topic:

Kita akan membahas topik ini

Hey, everyone, I'm Alex.

Halo semua, saya Alex

Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on two commonly used and sometimes confused

Terimakasih sudah klik video ini. Selamat datang, kali ini kita akan membahas tentang dua kata yang sering dipakai dan terkadang membingungkan

words in English.

dalam Bahasa Inggris

And those two words are: "been" and "gone".

kita akan membahas tentang 'been' dan 'gone'

Now, these two words, I say they are commonly used and sometimes confused because they are

Nah, dua kata ini sering dipakai dan saya bilang terkadang membingungkan karena

often used in a similar way, in a similar context, but there is one situation where

keduanya punya arti yang hampir sama, dalam konteks yang mirip, tapi ada kala nya dimana

only one of them works.

hanya satu yang dapat dipakai

Before we begin: What is "been", what is "gone"?

Sebelum kita mulai, apa itu 'been' dan 'gone'?

Grammatically, these are past participles.

Secara Gramatikal, keduanya merupakan partisip masa lalu

And today we're specifically going to look at how to use them with perfect tenses, because

Kali ini kita akan lebih fokus ke bagaimana menggunakannya dalam perfect tenses, karena

the confusion with the two words usually happens in the perfect tenses themselves.

Kebingungan dengan dua kata itu biasanya terjadi pada perfect tenses itu sendiri

So, first let's look at "been".

Pertama, mari kita lihat 'been'

Notice the arrows that I drew here.

Perhatikan panah yang saya gambar

So, if you have been to a place, this means that you went there and you returned.

Jadi, kalau 'you have been' artinya kamu pergi ke suatu tempat, terus kembali lagi

So, for example: "He's been to India."

Contoh, 'He has been to India' (Dia pernah ke India)

And by the way, this "he's", this means: "he has been in this situation", this is the present perfect.

Oh ya, "he's" disini berarti dia telah mengalami situasi ini. Ini adalah present perfect

"He's been to India."

"He's been to India"

He went and he returned in his life.

Dia pergi dan sudah pulang atau kembali lagi

This is a life experience that he had.

Ini adalah pengalaman hidup yang dimilikinya

Okay?

Paham?

So you can say: "I've been to India.", "I've been to Disney Land.",

Jadi kamu bisa bilang: ''I've been to India'' (Aku pernah ke India), aku pernah ke Disneyland,

"I've been to Niagara Falls."

aku pernah ke Air Terjun Niagara

So, if you want to talk about life experience where you went to a place, you returned from

Jadi, kalau kamu mau bicara tentang pengalaman, kemana kamu pernah pergi dan sudah kembali,

the place, it's behind you, it's in the past, it's done, it's in your life experience, "been"

itu telah kamu lalui, itu sudah lampau, sudah terjadi, itu pengalamanmu,

is usually the word you want to go with.

pakai kata 'been'

Next: "gone".

Selanjutnya, 'gone'

Now, I'm going to look at "gone" in a specific context which basically means you went to

Sekarang, saya akan melihat 'gone' dalam konteks tertentu yang pada dasarnya berarti kamu pergi ke

a place and you're still there, and you went recently.

suatu tempat dan kamu masih disana, dan kamu baru saja pergi kesana.

So, for example: "He's gone to India".

Contoh, "He's gone to India" (Dia pergi ke India)

-"Where's Frank?"

''Frank kemana?''

-"Frank's not in Canada, man. He's gone to India."

''Frank gak ada di Kanada, dia pergi ke India''

This means recently Hank left Canada...

Artinya Hank baru saja pergi dari Kanada

Did I say Hank or Frank?

Barusan saya bilang Hank atau Frank?

Frank or Hank?

Frank atau Hank?

How do you not remember?

Masa kamu gak ingat?

That's okay, let's keep going.

Gak masalah, ayo lanjut

"Hank/Frank, Hankfrank, Frankhank has gone to India."

"Hank/Frank, Hankfrank, Frankhank pergi ke India."

So, he went to India maybe two days ago.

Jadi mungkin ia pergi ke India dua hari yang lalu

He's in India now.

Dia di India sekarang

Let's look at some more of these examples with "been" and "gone".

Mari kita lihat beberapa contoh seputar 'been' dan 'gone'

"Been".

'Been'

"I've never been to China."

Aku belum pernah ke China

Okay?

Life experience, I've never been and returned, I have never visited China.

Ok?

Pengalaman hidup, aku belum pernah ke China, aku belum pernah mengunjungi China

"They had been there before."

"Mereka pernah ke sana sebelumnya."

So we're using the past perfect tense, here.

Jadi disini kita pakai past perfect tense

They had visited that location before.

Mereka pernah mengunjungi lokasi itu sebelumnya.

Ah: "We will have been in Montreal for three years by then."

"Kita akan berada di Montreal selama tiga tahun saat itu."

Now, here, it's actually slightly different. Right?

Nah, di sini, sebenarnya sedikit berbeda. Iya kan?

Because you're not saying that you went to Montreal and you returned to Montreal, but

Karena kamu gak bilang bahwa kamu pergi ke Montreal dan kembali ke Montreal, tapi

that you have lived in Montreal for three years, or: "We will have lived",

kamu udah tinggal di Montreal selama tiga tahun, atau "Kami akan tinggal"

"We will have been in Montreal for three years by then."

''Kami akan berada di Montreal selama tiga tahun saat itu''

So, here is a different sense.

Jadi inilah arti yang berbeda

Here, you're saying that in three years:

disini, kamu bilang dalam tiga tahun

"Oh, we will have been in Montreal for three years by that time",

Oh, kita akan berada di Montreal selama tiga tahun saat itu

by a specific time in the future.

dengan waktu tertentu di masa depan gitu

Okay?

Ngerti?

So, a different way to use "been".

Jadi, cara yang beda dalam memakai 'been'

Now, again, remember "been" is the past participle of the verb "be", and after "be" you can use

Sekali lagi, ingat 'been' itu past participle dari dari kata 'be', dan setelah 'be', kamu bisa pakai kata itu dalam

many, many, many, many different things, so you can talk about your age.

buanyaaak hal lain, kamu bisa pakai untuk bicara tentang umur kamu, kan?

Right? You can talk about adjectives, your feelings.

Kamu bisa pakai untuk bicara tentang kata sifat, tentang perasaanmu,

You can follow the verb "to be" with a continuous form.

Kamu bisa tambahkan verb "to be'' dengan continuous form

Right? So: "He's been playing", "He's been reading", "He's been doing".

Jadi "He's been playing", "He's been reading", "He's been doing".

For this lesson I specifically want to focus on using it to talk about travel and life

Di pembahasan kali ini saya mau fokusin penggunaannya dalam contoh kalimat berpergian dan

experience with visiting places and returning from places.

pengalaman hidup dalam mengunjungi suatu tempat dan kembali lagi dari sana

"Gone", okay.

'Gone', baik

"Jack's not here. He's gone home."

"Jack's not here. He's gone home.'' (Jack tidak ada disini, dia sudah pulang)

Now, here we're using the present perfect.

Disini, kita pakai present perfect

One of the uses for the present perfect is to talk about something that happened recently.

Salah satu kegunaannya dalam present perfect adalah untuk membicarakan sesuatu yang baru saja terjadi

Okay? And you can still see the effects, or something that just happened.

Ok? dan kamu masih bisa melihat akibat nya, sesuatu yang baru terjadi

So: -"Where's Jack?"

Jadi, ''Dimana Jack?"

-"Oh, Jack's not here.

"Jack tidak ada disini"

He's gone home. He has gone home."

Dia sudah pulang ke rumah. He has gone home

Not: "He's been home", that means he went home and he returned, and it's a weird kind of sentence.

Bukan ''He's been home'', karena kalau begitu artinya jadi dia sudah pulang lalu kembali lagi, kan aneh

Maybe, unless he went for lunch, I guess.

Ya, mungkin dia hanya pulang untuk makan... bisa jadi

And here's another one: "She's gone grocery shopping".

yang lainnya, "She's gone grocery shopping'' (dia pergi belanja)

-"Hey, where is Matilda?"

''Eh, Matilda mana?''

-"Matilda's not here. She has gone grocery shopping."

"Matilda's not here. She has gone grocery shopping." (Matilda gak ada, dia pergi belanja)

Okay? So she went recently, she's there now.

Ok? Jadi dia baru saja pergi, dia masih disana

Next one, ah: "They've gone on vacation."

Selanjutnya... ah, "They've gone on vacation." (Mereka pergi berlibur)

So your neighbours are not here, you notice their car is not in the driveway.

Jadi tetanggamu gak di rumah, kamu lihat mobil mereka gak ada di garasi

"Hey, where are the Hendersons?"

''Hey, dimana keluarga Hendersons?''

-"Oh, the Hendersons are not here. They've gone on vacation."

''Oh, mereka gak disini. Mereka sedang liburan''

Okay?

Paham?

And last one: "He's gone to work".

Terakhir, ''He's gone to work'' (dia pergi bekerja)

-"Mom, where's dad?"

''Ma, Papa dimana?''

-"Dad's not home.

"Papa gak dirumah.

He's gone to work."

dia lagi kerja"

Okay? Recently he left the house, he went to work, he's at work now.

Ok? Barusan ia pergi dari rumah, dia pergi kerja, dan sekarang masih bekerja

Now, you could also say if it's the end of the day: -"Hey, did you go to work today?"

Nah, kalau hari sudah berakhir, kamu bisa bilang: "Hey, apa kamu pergi bekerja hari ini?"

-"Yeah, I've been to work."

"Yeah, I've been to work." (Ya, aku pergi bekerja)

Okay?

Paham?

So, I've been to work today.

Jadi, saya pergi kerja hari ini

Next: What did I do here?

Selanjutnya. Apa yang ku tulis disini?

"I've never been or gone there before."

"Aku belum pernah'', atau ''aku belum pergi'' kesana sebelumnya?

Curious. Curious.

Membingungkan

Now, I did mention here-right?-that usually "been" is used when you want to talk about

Baiklah. Tadi sudah saya katakan disini, kan? Kalau biasanya ''been'' digunakan saat kamu mau membicarakan tentang

a place you have visited and you've returned from.

suatu tempat yang telah kamu datangi dan kamu sudah kembali dari sana

"Gone" usually used to mean that you have gone to a place, you went to a place, and

''Gone'' biasanya digunakan ketika kamu pergi ke suatu tempat

you are still there now.

dan kamu masih disana sekarang

But really, when you're talking about life experience, in speaking sometimes people use

Tapi, saat kamu bicara tentang pengalaman hidup, terkadang orang menggunakan

these words interchangeably.

kata kata ini bergantian

Okay?

Paham?

So: "I've never been there before.", "I've never gone there before."

Jadi, "I've never been there before." (aku belum pernah kesana sebelumnya), "I've never gone there before." (aku belum pergi kesana sebelumnya)

Here, I said: "I've never been to China.", "I've never gone to China."

Kalau saya bilang: ''Aku belum pernah ke China'', ''Aku belum pergi ke China''

If I say both of those, no one is really going to think I'm making a mistake.

Kalau saya pakai keduanya, tidak ada yang merasa saya membuat kesalahan

Okay? So if you do say: "I've never gone to China",

Ok? Kalau kamu bilang: ''Aku belum pergi ke China''

"I've never gone to China", "I've never been to China",

''Aku belum pergi... ke China'', ''Aku belum pernah ke China''

"I've never been to China", it's not a huge mistake.

''Aku belum pernah... ke China'', itu bukan masalah yang besar

Okay?

Ok?

What I really want you to focus on is that in most contexts, if you want to be safe,

Yang ingin saya tekankan itu dalam kebanyakan konteks, kalau kamu ingin aman

if you want to talk about life experience, stick with "been", if you want to talk about

kalau kamu ingin bicara tentang pengalaman, tetap pakai 'been', tapi kalau mau bicara tentang

something that just happened and you want to say the person is still there, still at

suatu hal yang baru terjadi dan kamu mau katakan orang itu masih disana,

the location, use "gone".

pakai 'gone'

So: "He's been to India."

Jadi, ''Dia pernah ke India''

Life experience.

Pengalaman hidup

"He's gone to India."

''Dia pergi ke India''

Recently, he went yesterday.

Baru saja, dia berangkat kemarin

So, when you're thinking about "gone" in this situation, a little trick you can use is ask yourself:

Jadi, kalau kamu bingung mikirin 'gone' disini, trik nya: tanya dirimu sendiri

"Where is he?

''Dimana dia''

Where is she?

"Dimana dia?"

Where are they?"

''Dimana mereka?"

And if they're not here: "Oh, he's gone to India.", "He's gone grocery shopping.",

Dan kalau mereka tak ada disini: "Oh, dia pergi ke India", "dia pergi berbelanja"

"They've gone on vacation.", "He's gone to his brother's house."

"Mereka pergi berlibur", "dia pergi ke rumah saudaranya"

Okay?

So, for "gone", if you can ask yourself the question: "Where is ____?" then you can use

Paham?

Jadi, untuk 'gone', kalau bisa tanya dirimu sendiri: "Dimana___?"

"gone" in this case.

lalu kamu bisa pakai kata ''gone'' disini

And one more, before you guys ask me this question in the comments.

Satu lagi, sebelum kalian nanya di comment.

You might say: "Alex, why would I say: 'He's gone grocery shopping'?

Kalian mungkin bilang: "Alex, kenapa aku harus bilang 'He's gone grocery shopping?'

Why don't I just say: 'He went grocery shopping'?"

Kenapa gak: 'He went grocery shopping'?"

Excellent question, such a good question.

Pertanyaan bagus, duh bagus bat

So, remember, simple past, action that happened in the past and is finished.

Inget, simple past, sesuatu yang terjadi di masa lampau dan sudah selesai.

Right?

So: "He went grocery shopping", "He went let's say five minutes ago".

Betul?

Jadi: ''dia pergi belanja'', misalnya lima menit lalu

Present perfect, specifically for present perfect in this case: "He's gone grocery shopping"

Present perfect, khususnya present perfect dalam kasus ini: "dia pergi belanja"

means that, you know, something that started in the past has continued into the present.

berarti kamu tau lah, sesuatu yang terjadi di masa lalu dan masih terjadi sampai saat ini

Really, you can use both.

ya, kamu bisa pakai keduanya

You can say: "He went grocery shopping", "He's gone grocery shopping", and you won't be wrong

kamu bisa bilang "He went grocery shopping", "He's gone grocery shopping'', dan kamu gak salah

in either case because you can mentally think that you're referring to an action where he

Dalam kasus, karena kamu bisa berpikir secara mental bahwa kamu mengacu pada situasi dimana

went, he left the house, your focus is on the period he left the house.

ia pergi, ia meninggalkan rumah, kamu akan lebih fokus pada masa dimana ia meninggalkan rumah

"He went grocery shopping".

''Dia pergi belanja''

-"Where is he?"

''Dimana dia?''

-"He's gone grocery shopping."

''Dia pergi belanja''

The action started in the past, is still true now because he's still there now, so your

kejadian nya sudah lewat, tapi tetep bener karena dia masih disana sekarang

focus changes.

jadi fokus mu berubah

Both are correct.

Dua dua nya benar

Okay, that's it.

Ok, itu dia

Masih bingung?

Do you feel better?

Is it less confusing?
