Have you ever…?

We use the present perfect (Have you ever + past participle) to ask about life experiences. We can answer these questions using a range of structures.

Grammar Practice

Unjumble the questions.

Write the correct sentences in your notebook.

Speaking Practice

Take turns asking questions starting with “Have you ever …?”

Answer each question using any of the alternative answers that you’ve learned in class.

Example:

Student A: Have you ever lost your wallet or cell phone?

Student B: Yes, I’ve lost my cell phone 3 times. Luckily, last time, someone found it and gave it back to me. What about you?
