It depends on the context. Neither of those examples is wrong, because the verb is different.

The word "gone" in the first example is an adverb, describing the be-verb "is."

The second verb "went" is a past-perfect (I think) that doesn't need an adverb.

So it would depend on the sentences that precede those examples.
