Hello,
When speaking of our experiences, we should normally choose the present perfect, for example
I've never been to Australia.
If I want to say the same about, say, my great-grandma, I'll use the simple past. However, should it be
(1) She never was in Australia
rather than
(2) She never went to Australia?
Thank you for your help.
PS I believe the silly questions are the ones that are not asked...
