Experiences and storiesLesson 1 · B1 · 10 minutes

In this lesson

Mention an experience without saying when it happened.

The idea, simply

Use the present perfect (have or has + past participle) for a life experience when the time does not matter: I have visited Jordan. Ask with Have you ever …? and use never for no experience: I have never tried sushi. If you give the exact time, switch to the past simple.

Examples

  • I have visited three countries so far.

  • Have you ever worked from home?

  • She has never driven a truck.
