Common mistakes

• Did you ever visited Japan?  →  Have you ever visited Japan? Use 'have / has', not 'did', with the present perfect.
• I have never be to Africa.  →  I have never been to Africa. Use the past participle ('been'), not the base form ('be').
• She has never ate sushi.  →  She has never eaten sushi. 'Ate' is simple past. The past participle of 'eat' is 'eaten'.
• Have you ever went there?  →  Have you ever been there? 'Went' is simple past. Use 'been' for places.

Speaking prompts

• Have you ever eaten something unusual?
• Have you ever been to a concert?
