He has gone to New York sometime last week.

Hi

Is this sentence grammatical -- and natural?

He has gone to New York sometime last week.

I would write it as:

He went to New York sometime last week.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Tom

Just to ensure that I understand you correctly, fivejedjon -- the first sentence "He's gone to New York sometime last week" -- is not natural, but grammatically correct. Right?

Please let me know.

Thanks for the effort,

No. We don't use the present perfect with a past time-point or period.
