No. 585 in Italian
andato
"Andato" means "gone" in English.
In a sentence
Sono andato al cinema ieri sera.
I went to the cinema last night.
In this sentence, "andato" is the past participle of the verb "andare" (to go), used in the passato prossimo tense combined with the auxiliary verb "essere" to indicate a completed action in the past.
Tutto è andato per il meglio.
Everything went for the best.
Here, "andato" is used as part of the past tense construction with "essere" in an idiomatic expression meaning that everything turned out well.
Il progetto è andato male.
The project went poorly.
In this usage, "andato" conveys the result or outcome, again as a past participle with "essere" for an event in the past leading to an undesirable result.
