Thanks Mister Micawber

Is it "where you did you go"? or "Where did you go"?

And I guess I can also say, "Where you gone?"

Khoff · Answer

It should be "Where did you go?" You could also say "Where were you?"

"Where you gone?" is not correct. ("Were you gone?" is okay, if that's what you mean.)

User_garyAnd I guess I can also say, "Where you gone?"

Do you mean this?

Where have you gone?

This is correct and very similar to Where did you go?

Does "Were you gone" mean "Where did you go"?

Khoff · Answer

User_garyDoes "Were you gone" mean "Where did you go"?

No, it doesn't. It just means "Did you go away?" It doesn't ask where you went, although of course the person might include that information in their reply.
