Level 9 = Verb Tenses _ Present Perfect Tense with Ever_Never_already_yet

 

Present perfect tense is used to express that an action happened in the past, has recently been completed, or is continuing into the present. It implies an unspecified time. You cannot use the present perfect with a specific time expression or time frame. You can use the present perfect with unspecific time adverbs such as "ever", "never", "already", and "yet".

Present Perfect Tense with Ever

"Ever" means at any time. It is often used in interrogative sentences. It can also be used in negative sentences with "nobody has ever". It is always placed before the main verb or past participle.

·   Nobody has ever asked me that question.
