HAVE BEEN TO

Hi,
I would like to be sure about the meaning of these forms sometimes I find:

'I been to Duluth' or 'He has been to America'

I guess their meaning it's "I have been in Duluth" and "He has been in America".

Thanks in advance, Jo.

Hi, I would like to be sure about the meaning of these forms sometimes I find: 'I been to Duluth' or 'He has been to America' I guess their meaning it's "I have been in Duluth" and "He has been in America". I have been to Duluth means I have visited Duluth. You can abbreviate it to I've been to Duluth.

  • I have been to Duluth means I have visited Duluth.
  • You can abbreviate it to I've been to Duluth.
  • However, I been to Duluth is considered a sign of uneducated speech.
  • It's the same with your other example.
