How do I know when I should use for Past Simple one of these two forms, or when I should use one of these two forms for Present Perfect?
The slash (/) means, either variant is acceptable; The difference is usually attributed to spelling, especially -ed and -t variants; as for, gone/been, well, they are near synonyms:

I have gone (I've been there)
I have been (I've gone)

All the best, :D

Thanks!
No I got it now.
