Hello, I have been thinking for a couple of days of a simple but tricky sentence containing the present perfect of the verb to go, and I can't sort out whether its form is correct or not. Can I say "my friend has gone to London yesterday"?I know that with a set and finished time reference (as yesterday, last year and so on) you must use the past simple rather than the present perfect. But in this case I intend to indicate that my friend left for going to london yesterday and he is still there at the moment of speaking...so the action of "going", in a way, is still in progress and this would lead me to use the present perfect....am I wrong??A bit confusing to me!!!Thanks in advance for any help
