00he has gone: means he is not here, but you may get him easily0-

0 I am reminded of the classroom situation where the teacher says that "01i00il est mort02i00" can be translated either as "he is dead" or as "he has died." One student, not understanding, objects and says that there 01b00is02b00 a difference. The teacher's response: not to him, there isn't. 0-

The teacher was being objective and the student was being subjective...Two ways of trying to apprehend the world, but actually the student is more anchored in modernity than his stiff teacher !!!!

thank you, that really helped me

Hi,

I'd say that "he has died" is an incorrect sentence.

The Present Perfect tense has always to be with the present.

You could say "He has died, so he doesn't speak anymore" in which case you express a consequence related to the present.

In the same way, you easily may say "I have cut my finger, it's still bleeding" but you can't say "I have cut my fing

I think the difference is one of frame of reference.

"He is gone" sounds as if the reference point is here, us, and not "him." In other words, "he is no longer with us." The phrasing ends our involvement with "him" for the time being.

"He has gone" instead shifts the emphasis a bit more to "him," and we could expect a follow-on sentence to read "I expect he is in Paris by now"

He is gone - is the sentence of voice.

He has gone – is the sentence of present perfect.

I have to go – it means surely I will go to the destination.

I am to go – it means most probably I will go to the destination.

what is the difference between has and as
