"आमिर के पिता अमेरिका गये हैं ।"

Translation: Aamir's father has gone to America.

Hi
There is no need for ने with verbs come and / or go ?

[ianrowcliffe]

What about, Aamir's father has been to America?

[ianrowcliffe]

Note, this means to have gone and come back...

[ianrowcliffe]

Perhaps this might be: आमिर के पिता अमेरिका जा चुका है।, but I am still not sure whether this distinguishes between 'gone' and 'been'.

How would one translate "Aamir's father went to America?"

[ianrowcliffe]

See LeMaitre's comment above: "आमिर के पिता अमेरिका गये।"

[Talking-Bear]

I answered "Aamir's father went to America.", which was considered wrong. Is it really?

[ph.XxV2vM]

why can't we add the to amarica

[ZETROzky]

If some are has gone and some are went, it makes no sense. Allow both of them.

[LeMaitre]

The fact is, both of them would be translated differently in Hindi.

For the simple past tense (went), you don't use the verb होना. So, Amir's father went to America = "आमिर के पिता अमेरिका गये।"

For the present perfect tense (has gone), you add the appropriate conjugation of 'होना' after the past form of the verb, which is the translation given above.

But you are reasoning on how to reverse translate the phrase. Translating from Hindi to English went means the same thing.
