Q. Do the following sentences both sound okay? If so, what's the difference?
a. I'm not sure where John has been. He was with you, wasn't he?
b. I'm not sure where John is. He was with you, wasn't he?
Both sound OK. the difference is that in the first case John has now returned whilst the second case he is still missing.
been: verb
the past participle of be
a) used to say that someone has gone to a place and come back
is the third person singular of the present tense of be
