Correct : I went to the party

Correct : He has gone to Delhi.

After looking at these simple examples you’ll notice one thing that go and went can stand alone while ‘gone’ needs an extra verb like ‘has’ to stand in the sentence, which states that they are used differently which is what we have to see. So, let’s discuss how to use these three words correctly.

When to Use ‘Go’ in Sentence

The simple two letter word ‘go’ is used to write sentence in present tense and to represent an action of motion from one place to another.

  1. I go to gym everyday.
  2. I need to go.

  5. They went with their friends.

When to Use ‘Gone’ in Sentence

Gone is derived from go and it is the past participle form of go, therefore it requires an auxiliary verb such as has, have etc. to be used in a sentence.

5 examples of sentences using “gone”:

  1. He is gone to market.
  2. We have never gone beyond this point.
  3. He has gone on a trip.
  4. He has gone to India.
  5. This fruit has gone bad.

Try replacing these phrases with one another and you’ll see that sentences will sound untidy.

For example :

Correct : My strength is all gone.

Wrong : My strength is all went.

Let us see a sentence using ‘go’ and ‘went’ together.

Example : I go to that shop everyday but went to the shopping mart for the first time.
