hi
when we have to use these sentences like" he has gone now" and
"he went now"
which one is correct.
please let me know
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.
