Usage notes

 * Along with, , and to a lesser extent other English verbs, go is often used as a substitute for a verb that was used previously or that is implied, in the same way a pronoun substitutes for a noun. For example:
 * Chris: Then he goes like this: (Chris then waves his arms around, implying that the phrase means then he waves his arms).
 * Some speakers use for the past participle, especially in informal contexts, though this is considered nonstandard and is proscribed.
 * Like other English verbs, the verb go once had an alternative present participle formed with the suffix -and, i.e. goand. Goand is now obsolete, having been replaced by going, except in a few rural dialects in Scotland and Northern England, where it is considered archaic. Even in such dialects, it is never used to form the continuous tenses. These examples are from the Highlands:
 * In certain contexts, been is idiomatically substituted for gone as the past participle. For example, one might go to London but later say that one has been to London.
 * In certain contexts, been is idiomatically substituted for gone as the past participle. For example, one might go to London but later say that one has been to London.
 * In certain contexts, been is idiomatically substituted for gone as the past participle. For example, one might go to London but later say that one has been to London.
