Fiche à imprimer : Have you ever...? Ever et never avec le present perfect

Pour parler de ses expériences (ce qu'on a déjà fait ou jamais fait dans sa vie), on utilise le present perfect : have / has + participe passé.

Forme	Exemple	Français
Have you ever + p.p. ?	Have you ever eaten sushi?	As-tu déjà mangé des sushis ?
I've + p.p.	Yes, I've eaten sushi twice.	Oui, j'en ai mangé deux fois.
I've never + p.p.	No, I've never eaten sushi.	Non, je n'en ai jamais mangé.
Has he ever + p.p. ?	Has she ever flown?	A-t-elle déjà pris l'avion ?

Ever (déjà, un jour) s'utilise surtout dans les questions ; never (jamais) remplace not : on ne dit pas ~~I haven't never~~.

Been ou gone ?

I've been to London = j'y suis allé et revenu (expérience). He's gone to London = il est parti à Londres et il y est encore.

Avec une date : prétérit

I've been to Scotland. → I went there last year.

Je suis déjà allé en Écosse. → J'y suis allé l'année dernière.

Dès qu'on précise quand, on passe au prétérit.

Mise en situation : un jeu de questions

Mia : Have you ever been to the USA?

Tu es déjà allé aux États-Unis ?

Jack : No, I've never been there. But I've been to Ireland. Have you ever flown in a helicopter?

Non, je n'y suis jamais allé. Mais je suis allé en Irlande. Tu as déjà volé en hélicoptère ?

Mia : Yes, I have! I flew over the Alps last summer.

Oui ! J'ai survolé les Alpes l'été dernier.

Jack : Wow! I've never done anything like that!

Waouh ! Je n'ai jamais rien fait de pareil !

À retenir

Expérience : have / has + participe passé.
Have you ever...? — Yes, I have. / No, I've never...
never = jamais (pas de not en plus).
been (allé et revenu) ≠ gone (parti) ; avec une date : prétérit.
