A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until they have compared answers.
- Read the kayaking exchange and identify have/has plus a past participle, ever and never.
- Complete A–C, checking question order and changing a finished-time statement such as last year to the past simple.
- Write three experience statements and ask Have you ever…?, followed by When…? where appropriate.
Support and extension
Supply participles and allow imagined answers. Extend by distinguishing an experience question from a dated event; do not add not to never.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
