I ____ to Ireland, but I ______ to London last year.
A) have never been/ went
B) never been/ been
C) never gone/ went
D) never went/ have gone
I think the answer is C?
Nope.
Review present perfect and past tenses.
Should be A.
Actually, the correct answer is B) never been/ been.
To determine the correct answer, we need to use the correct verb tense. In this case, we want to express two different past experiences: one related to not going to Ireland and the other related to going to London.
The correct verb tense for the first part of the sentence is "have never been," which indicates that you have not had the experience of going to Ireland at any point in the past.
For the second part of the sentence, "but I ______ to London last year," we need to use the past simple tense to indicate a completed action in the past. Therefore, we should use "been" instead of "went" to express the experience of going to London.
Putting these two verb phrases together, we get: "I have never been to Ireland, but I have been to London last year."
