Present perfect: Have you ever...?

Aquí have NO significa “tener”, sino “haber”:

Have you ever worked?
Has tu alguna vez trabajado?

Have you ever travelled by plane?
Has tu alguna vez viajado en avión?

Respuestas:
Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t.

Los verbos trabajado=worked, viajado=travelled están en pasado participio.
Estos verbos son regulares, por lo que terminan en –ed; en esta unidad solamente vamos a utilizar un verbo irregular: been.

be been use used
dance danced smoke smoked
want wanted study studied

The weather... sticky!
