EVER – At any time

Questions
Has he ever scored a goal before? (At any time in his life)
Have you ever heard of The Ivy restaurant?

ALREADY
We use already to emphasise that something was completed before something
else happened. It is often used with the present perfect or past perfect:
The plane had already landed when the pilot announced that there would be a
delay in getting to the gate.

NEVER
Never forget where you came from, your family, your childhood friends. (Or,
less common, don’t ever forget where you came from …)

YET
We use yet as an adverb to refer to a time which starts in the past and
continues up to the present. We use it mostly in negative statements or
questions in the present perfect. It usually comes in end position:
Kevin hasn’t registered for class yet.
I haven’t finished my breakfast yet.
