Question

关于have been的用法。谢谢

I have been in U.S. for eight months. 对吗？

I have been in U.S. since Jan 10 2014. 对？
你们谁能告诉我for和since的区别。 谢谢

Answer 1

have been to可以用任何人称 have gone to不能用在第一、第二人称 have been to为去过，表示回来了 have gone to为去了，表示还没回来 去过，回来了”用been，“去了，没回来”用gone,两者均可后接地点，前者表示去过某地，通常可与表示次数的状语连用；后者表示到某地去了，强调说话的当时去某地的人不在场。如： 1. have been to 用例： He has been to Paris three times. 他去过巴黎三次。 They have been to the zoo. 他们到动物园去了。 The children have gone to play in the park. 孩子们到公园玩耍去。 2. have gone to 用例： He has gone to Paris. 他去巴黎了。 Everyone has gone home. 大家都回家去了。 He has gone to see her uncle. 他去看他叔叔了。 She has gone to the cinema with her boyfriend. 她与男朋友看电影去了。 have/ has been in 已经在，常与一段时间连用

Answer 3

I have been in U.S. for eight months.
I have been in U.S. since Jan 10 2014.
两句都对。
for 后面跟一段时间, 如 8个月(for 8 months)，2天 (for 2 days)，1小时 (for 1 hour)
since 后面跟日期， 如 Jan 10 2014，上个礼拜 (since last week).
用法有一点不一样。
