'Has went'- where has 'gone'... gone?!

[PotholeParadise]

When did this start?

I keep seeing it everywhere. I've seen it so much I'm beginning to say and type it.

It is 'she went to the shop' or 'she has gone to the shop'. What is this unholy matrimony of two tenses at once? It's like putting pasta on pizza!

If she hadn't gone today (I nearly typed 'went'!), she could have gone tomorrow!

Knock yourself out with that one!

Aw, come on.wowfudge. I can't possibly collect meaningful data on my own.

I've never seen it. But my personal hatred is reserved for "innit".

My personal hate is for "I text her" as a past tense, meaning "I texted her."

I don't hear "I have went" in my area, so perhaps is isn't countrywide.

This one has baffled me... "gone" is the accepted verb here!

Very common in Scotland. "I've went" and "I done it" are heard often and are dreadful

There a few a few dialects where I live from RP to well countryfied

They tend to say 'goes' rather than go or went

I think what OP is saying is that the verb 'to go' has past tenses:

I have gone

I went

Saying 'I have went' or 'I've went' or 'I gone' are incorrect.

Exactly what JamieLeeCurtains said. Glad someone can understand me today!

Oh corrag yes, yes and yes. Wtf is this 'gifted' ?! 'I was very kindly gifted a candle'
ARGHHH it's given

Surely “sing, sang, sung” is more common than “ring, rang, rung”?

I've only ever seen it on Mumsnet. From the same people who start a sentence with "Me and her ..."

I've never heard this in Wales. There is a very Welsh valleys-ism of using 'do' wherever possible though, but not fully pronounced as the word, and sometimes with an extra 'I do' at the end of a sentence. For example:
he duh like going there
I duh like that show (I do)

My personal peeves are using “invite” as a noun

Also when watching Masterchef when John says “make eggs for gregg and I”

Not sure. I don't think I've talked about singing in the last month, and I never see it on FB groups. This isn't much of a sample though.

Tell you what is common: drink, drank, drunk!

“He has went away” is a common construction in Dundee - I’ve heard it used by nursing and ancillary staff in operating theatres since at least the 1970’s, which is when I moved there as a medical student!
“Gone” only seemed to be used for inanimate objects, rather than people - eg “Any cake left?” “No, it’s all gone.”
Coming from the south of England, I was struggling enough with Scots dialect words for anatomical terms, such as thrapple for throat and oxter for armpit, but the mangled grammar added a whole new dimension!

@JamieLeeCurtains understood. I've never heard anyone say "I have went". It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue!

Sang, rang and drank are definitely going in certain phrases- to dhs horror I often say sung instead of sang (dialect!), and now have to really think when writing formally. (Eg, I would say "you rang, mi'lord?", "she sang me to sleep" but also "he sung a song" in general speech)

Interesting that you say that about dialect Tanaqui. I sing in a choir so sing, sang, sung are familiar to me and it makes me cringe when a fellow singer uses the wrong one.

My DH has 'has went' and 'have went' and he doesn't notice himself doing it. He is Scottish.

He is mega, mega bright - straight As, 2 degrees, very 'big' prestigious job, and worst of all, the son of an English teacher. It hasn't held him back in life but I hate it and pull him up on it a lot

My mum would have totally bollocked me for I done or I seen.

I don’t remember ‘have went’ being something I heard as a child though.

It's part of the dialect here. Maybe it's spreading..

@Anoisagusaris

Never heard this in Ireland

Neither have I, thank God.

I think being 'gifted' is supposed to be somehow more elevated than merely being 'given' it.

However, to me it carries connotations of Instagram, influencers and sneaky marketing.

I hate it. It's an indication of ignorance to me, same as could/would/should OF instead of HAVE. If I read these or similar in a post I read no further.
