Have you ever ...? (present perfect 3)
A
Have you been to Rome? Yes, I have. Many times.
Have you ever been to Japan? No, I've never been to Japan.
We use the present perfect (have been/ have had/ have played etc.) when we talk about a time from the past until now - for example, a person's life:
| Have you ever been to Japan? | ||
| past | time from the past until now | now |
- Have you been to France? No, I haven't.
- I've been to Canada, but I haven't been to the United States.
- Mary is an interesting person. She has had many different jobs and has lived in many places.
- I've seen that woman before, but I can't remember where.
- How many times has Brazil won the World Cup?
- Have you read this book? Yes, I've read it twice. (twice = two times)
B
present perfect + ever(in question) and never:
- Has Ann ever been to Australia? Yes, once. (once = one time)
- Have you ever played golf? Yes, I play a lot.
- My sister has never traveled by plane.
- I've never ridden a horse.
- Who is that man? I don't know. I've never seen him before.
C
gone and been
(Where's Bill? He's away. He's gone to Spain.)
Bill has gone to Spain. (= he is in Spain now)
two weeks later:
(Hello, Bill. Hi, I've been on holiday. I've been to Spain.)
Bill has been to Spain. (= he went to Spain, but now he is back)
Compare:
- I can't find Susan. Where has she gone? (= where is she now?)
- Oh, hello Susan! I was looking for you. Where have you been?
