Correct Sentences:
- 1. b) She's been to the doctor's. She was there last Friday. (Using 'been to' indicates a completed visit, and 'was there' specifies the time of the visit. 'Gone to' would imply she is still at the doctor's.)
- 2. b) They're not here. They've been joining the party. ('Been joining' implies they are currently participating in the party, which is why they are not here.)
- 3. a) I've been to two shops, but I didn't find any fresh vegetables. ('Been to' refers to visiting places, and 'didn't find' correctly indicates the absence of vegetables.)
- 4. b) Has he ever been to Greece? ('Been to' is used to ask about experience of visiting a place.)
- 5. b) They're on holiday. They've been to the USA for a week. ('Been to' indicates visiting a place as part of their holiday.)
Explanation: The correct sentences were identified based on the proper use of the present perfect simple ('have/has been') and present perfect continuous ('have/has been -ing') tenses, and the distinction between 'gone to' and 'been to' when discussing travel and visits.
