He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he went eighty-four days now without taking fish. [ not original. I have changed the verb part from "had gone" to "went"] ********** I know(or understand) how different "have gone" and "went" in grammatically and theoretically. But I like to know what is different in the images which were made in the mind of English native speaker. Could you tell me each one of these sentences feel (you) how different?
