I have gone to Paris once.
Hi teachers!
Here are a couple of questions about present perfect.
First, I have learned and taught we cannot say #1, but #2 and #3 are okay.
1. I have gone to Paris.
2. I have been to Paris.
3. She has gone to Paris.
However I just saw #4 on the web.
Is it grammatical?
4. I have gone to school once.
Then can we say #5?
5. I have gone to Paris once (or twice)
In fact when I saw #4, I was a little shocked.
Please teachers help me out.
Many thanks in advance.
