Question

Which alternative is correct? Why and explain with grammar. A) John has never gone to Europe, but he has already gone to America several times. B) John has never been in Europe, but he has already been in America several times. C) John has never been to Europe, but he has already been to America several times. D) John had never gone to Europe, but he had already been in America several times.

Answer 1

C) John has never been to Europe, but he has already been to America several times.

O correto é "been to" (a place), um lugar, "estive, esteve, estivemos em". "He has already" frase no presente falando algo que ele fez no passado, "ele já esteve".

Answer 2

A correta é a letra C

A) John has never gone to Europe, but he has already gone to America several times.

Esse gone dá a ideia que a pessoa ainda está lá no lugar. Como ele falou esteve/foi várias vezes, o mais adequado é o been.

B) John has never been in Europe, but he has already been (in) America several times.

Esse in que eu coloquei o parentese está errado, pois nesse lugar seria a preposição to. Esse in tem a ideia que você morou, como está falando que esteve lá várias vezes o correto é o to.

C) John has never been to Europe, but he has already been to America several times.

Essa está ok.

D) John had never gone to Europe, but he had already been (in) America several times.

Esse in que eu coloquei o parentese está errado, pois nesse lugar seria a preposição to. Esse in tem a ideia que você morou, como está falando que esteve lá várias vezes o correto é o to.
