Let’s go for a dive into Go.

Today’s English
March 10th, 2017

Many people know that the past participle of “go" is “gone" but very few learners of English know that the word “been" is also the past participle of “go".
There is a difference between “he went to Chennai” and “he has been to Chennai”. The former means just an action of go in the past but the latter means that he went to Chennai and came back from there.  Thus the past participle “been" includes “return" as well.
Compare:
1. Where did he go? He went to meet our principal.
2. Have you ever been to Ooty? Yes, several times. (Implies return too)

Another remarkable thing is the use of preposition after “go".  Use the preposition “for" if you refer to sports, exercise or relaxation
1. Let’s go for a drive.
2. Shall we go for a walk? / let's go for a coffee. (Similarly go for a swim, go for a run)

But use the preposition “on" if the purpose includes travel, amusements or absence from your routine work. 
1. We went on a tour and enjoyed a lot.
2. Who won’t like to go on a trip with you?
3. Would you mind If I go on leave for a week?

But no preposition should be used if the reference is to moving to negative state.
1. Call me if anything goes wrong here.
2. When the husband goes bankrupt the wife goes mad.
Similarly you can use -to go bald, to go blind, to go wild, to go naked, etc.

Remember, last but not least, you can say “he goes to work" without “The”  but you must say “he goes to the office" with the article “the".
