I was taught that we use present perfect with ” ever” because the time is not specified or something which happened in the past which is important now

Cambridge Grammar say: Present perfect

simple. uses We use the

present perfect simple to refer to events in the past but which connect to the present.

We often use present perfect for talking about something which happened in the past which is important now.

on life more often, and at an earlier time, we often use general time expressions like that ever, never, before, so far, up until today with

this use of the present perfect simple. We often use ever, not… ever and

never when we talk about experiences?

In American

English the past simple is often used instead of the present perfect simple, often with already and yet.

differences – present perfect vs. past perfect. How are they known? used to

talk about recent events ‘Just’ with the simple past In American and British English, we can also use to talk about them ‘just’ with the simple past, to be specific. Why do British and American people use the word just? When we’re giving news in British English we generally use the present perfect.

On the phrase “still though”, the word indicates time when the words “indeed” and “now” indicate time up till now.

That relation to the present means we commonly use them with the present perfect. Also true of English, especially in our country. In American English, especially spoken English, you’ll often hear us use these words with the simple past, too.

I’m going outside to practice soccer. I never bother to take photos of the outside.

Wait 1-2 sec now. Is it safe?

How long have you been doing your homework?

Ok, I already did it. I’ll change it later.

In

British English, these sentences would be unusual. With ‘yet’ and ‘already’ we generally use the present perfect, not the simple past…. When do Americans use the present perfect and when do they use the simple past? When we’re speaking carefully English, we often use the present perfect with ‘yet’ and ‘already’. When we are speaking informally, we often use the simple past. Do you have any ifs or you don’t have a ‘do you”you’ve got to think about the whole “catch.” question?
