Have you ever…?

Ever means from the time you were born until now.  Except for rare exceptions, it can only be used in questions and to answers with a no.

It is used with have or had + a past participle.

Example:

• Have you ever eaten a frog?
• Has she ever gone to Australia?

When you answer the question, a yes answer will use have/has + past participle.

• Have you ever seen a whale?

Answer:

• Yes, I have seen a whale.  or  Yes, I have.

If you answer the question with a no, you will need to use

• haven’t /hasn’t + ever + past participle or
• have /has + never + past participle

(both of these have the same meaning)

Example:

• Have you ever seen a whale?

Answer:

• No, I haven’t ever seen a whale.  or
• No, I’ve never seen a whale.  or
• No, I haven’t.
