Present Perfect

When we talk about our experiences in life, we can do it by using the present perfect

I have gone parachuting.

I have lived in the US .

She has met Anne Hathaway.

We have swum with sharks.

They have travelled by plane many times

When we are talking about experiences we can ask a person if the have done somethingat least one time in their life by using the word ever:

Have you ever travelled abroad?

If we haven't done it in our live we can respond using never.

I have never travelled abroad.

Notice the position of the two words in the sentences.

When we are talking about experiences we commonly start using the present perfect and to give details we use the past simple:

A: Have you ever swum with sharks?

B: Yes, I have. It was in Cancún in 2017, I touched it and took a photograph with it. Have you ever done it?

A: No I haven't. But I would like to one day.
