"Have you ever …?

"

PAST SIMPLE:

We use the past simple to talk about finished actions/events in the past. Time expressions such as yesterday,
last week/month/year (ago) are often used with the past simple.
Ex: "I was promoted last year."

PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE:

WE use PRESENT PERFECT to talk about:

1. An action/event that began in the past and continues (or has an effect) in the present.
2. An action that has just been completed.
3. Experiences we have had in our lifetime.
4. How many times/how many of something we have done.
Time expressions such as just, already, yet, this week/month/year are often used with the present perfect. 
 EX: "I've already been promoted twice."
 "I've played the piano for 8 years." 
Structure:

Past simple: 
Subject + verb (regular -ed / irregular) + complement
Negative: Subject + didn't + verb in base form + complement.
Interrogative: (Wh-) + did + subject + verb in base form + complement?

Ex: "she didn't have the time to visit her family last weekend."
"Why did they tell us they will call us last night?"

Present perfect simple: 

Subject + have/has + past participle + complement
Negative: Subject + hasn't/haven't  or never + past participle + complement. 
Interrogative: (Wh-) + have/has + subject + past participle + complement?

Ex: " He hasn't been to China yet."

"Have you already finished your homework?"
Adverbs:

Already: Already used with the present perfect means 'before now'. We use it to emphasize that something
happened before something else or earlier than expected.
*Already can come between the auxiliary and the main verb or at the end of the clause.
"He wanted to see "Sudden Risk" but I've already seen it."

Just: Just used with the present perfect means 'a short time before'. 
*It comes between the auxiliary verb (have/has) and the past participle.
"I've just seen Susan coming out of the cinema."

Yet: Yet used with the present perfect means 'at any time up to now'. We use it to emphasize that we expect
something to happen soon. Yet (in this context) is only used in negative sentences and questions.
*It comes at the end of the sentence or question.
"Have you finished your homework yet?"

Still: Still used with the present perfect means that something hasn't happened. We use it to emphasize that
we expected the thing to happen earlier. Still (in this context) is only used in negative sentences.
*It comes between the subject (the bus, they, etc.) and auxiliary verb (haven't/hasn't).
"They promised me that report yesterday but they still haven't finished it."
Adverbs:

Ever: Ever means 'at any time'

Never: never means 'at no time'
Ever and Never express the idea of an unidentified time before now
'Ever' and 'never' are always placed before the main verb (past participle).
"Have you ever been to England?"
"I have never seen her before."

Rules: 

Use past tense with a word marking finished time (last week, last month, yesterday)
"I saw my boss last week."

Use past participle with a word marking unfinished time (this week, this month, today)
"I haven't seen my boss this week."
