Thanks

No, you cannot say 'the train is left'. Each verb has its own level of capability of becoming an adjective. 'Finished' makes a more generally acceptable adjective than 'left'. Compare 'the finished problem' with 'the left train'.
Yes, they are two ways to say the same thing. The only difference we can make is that #2 tells us it happened recently and/or it is somehow related to something else now.
So in that case, which of the following would be a correct way of telling?
Suppose, 3 people are in a place talking about something....1st one tell to the 2nd one to close the door after the 3rd one leaves(left?) the place in a direct speech.
Close the door after he is gone Close the door after he has gone Close the door after he went
Close the door after he is gone. Close the door after he has gone. Is it the same with: I have finished / I'm finished ?-- Yes. And to 'he is gone' and 'he has gone'. What's the difference between 'he is gone' and 'he went'?-- ''He went' is not possible in that sentence.
