Answer 2

Both "gone" and "been" can be used in these sentences, but they will change the meaning slightly:

1. He has gone out. He'll be back soon.

   • This suggests that he is currently not at home, but he will return soon.

2. Have you ever been to the UK?

   • This asks whether you have visited the UK at any point in your life.

3. Where is Mum? Has she gone to the supermarket?

   • This suggests that your mom is not at home, and you are asking if she went to the supermarket.

4. Gary has gone to the baker's to buy some bread.

   • This implies that Gary is currently not at home because he went to the baker's to buy bread.

5. George has gone to the post office, but he won't be long.

   • This indicates that George is currently not at home, but he will return shortly.

6. I have never been to the theme park before.

   • This means you have never visited the theme park in your life.

In general, "gone" often implies someone is currently not present because they went somewhere, while "been" typically refers to a past experience or visit. However, the choice between "gone" and "been" can sometimes be a matter of context and emphasis.
