Have you Ever...? Questions

Present Perfect:   Have/Has+ Subject + (ever) + past participle?   Subject + have/has+ pp.
                                       Have you ever eaten Thai food?                 I have eaten Thai food.

Use The Present Perfect + Ever To Ask Questions About Experiences In Someone’s Life. “Have you ever taken dance classes?” “Yes, I have. I took 6 weeks of lessons before my wedding!” “Has your brother ever been to India?” “No, he hasn’t.” “Have your friends ever helped you move to a new apartment?” “Yes – twice!”                     Don’t use ‘ever’ in the answer. Only use it in questions. Use The Present Perfect + Never To Talk About Things You Have NOT Done. I’ve never failed a test. I’ve always gotten 80% or more. Samantha has never been surfing. She’s afraid of the ocean. They’ve never told a lie. I know we can trust them.
