I think "I had gone to the store" would be a better way to phrase it like that. Just a gut feeling.

I think the difference here is the use of "had". You can say "I went to the store" perfectly fine - it makes perfect sense. But you can't use "I gone to the store" - Whereas you CAN say "I had gone to the store" to recount your activities.

Considering "I went to the store" works as well as it does on its own, "I had went to the store" feels really unnecessary. It probably gets used in the same way that people go "yeah, nah, totally", but it's not the best way to phrase it. If there's gonna be a "had" in there, it should be there to make sense of a statement that doesn't work otherwise.

I think technically it is grammatically correct, but "I had gone to the store" is better.

"went" is simple past tense of "go"; "gone" is the past participle. You use the past participle to formulate past, present and future perfect tenses in English.

In some cases the simple past and past participle are the same - such as with the verb "to play" (He played; he had played all day).
With other verbs, that's not the case... such as "to swim" (She swam; she had swum all day) or "to fly" (They flew; they will have flown around the world).

My answer is that "they had went" is incorrect, because you don't use simple past conjugations of verbs in that tense.

Here, going to the store is a not a completed action, so we use the past participle, which is "gone".

That sounds wrong to my ears. I had gone or I went are much better. Combining the two is just... no.

Oh yea baby, be my gramnar daddy!
