Is there a difference in meaning between the following two sentences?
1) I can't even imagine what you have gone through.
2) I can't even imagine what you have been going through.
Thank you.
@paok1970,
"What you have gone through" means that the person is no longer experiencing the event.
"What you have been going through" suggests that the person is still having the experience.
He already got an answer about this, from me, which he evidently didn't like. No more help from me. Good bye pack.
@centrox,
I posted the same question twice because the first failed to appear on the ESL board. That's why I reposted the same question. I'm sorry.
@paok1970,
OK. Do you now understand the difference?
@centrox,
Yes, I do.
Thank you for your time, effort, patience and understanding.
@paok1970,
Is there any difference in meaning between "
I can't even imagine what you have gone through" and "
I can't even imagine what you have been through"?
If not, which would you use?
Thank you
No difference; I'd use either.
