The Time Trap!
Present Perfect vs. Past Simple
(កុំប្រើ Present Perfect ជាមួយនឹងពាក្យបញ្ជាក់ពេលវេលាដែលចប់បាត់ទៅហើយ ដូចជា yesterday, last year!)
I have seen him yesterday. ❌
Incorrect. "Yesterday" is a finished time.
I saw him yesterday. ✅
Correct. Use Past Simple.

Hi Sovan! This is a great question.
"Have gone" means the person went there and is STILL there right now (they haven't come back).
"Have been" means they went there and have already returned (it's a life experience). So if you are in Cambodia right now talking to me, you must say "I have been to Thailand"! 🛫🛬
Teacher, what is the difference between "I have gone to Thailand" and "I have been to Thailand"?
