EVER / NEVER

"Never" significa nunca.

"Ever" en cambio, puede significar "nunca" y también "alguna vez".

Por ejemplo: Have you "ever" been to China?

¿Has estado alguna vez en China? ¿Has ido alguna vez a China?

También "ever" se utiliza en vez de "never" en el tipo de expresión que aparece en el ejercicio tres.

La fórmula es: un adjetivo en grado superlativo (el más grande, el más pequeño, el mejor) + sustantivo + sujeto + "have/has" + ever + past participle.

"Ejemplo: The nicest (adjetivo superlativo) man (sustantivo) I (sujeto)'ve (have) ever met (past participle.

El hombre más simpático que he conocido.

"Ever" se coloca siempre entre el verbo auxiliar "have/has" y el participio del verbo.

e.g. This is the nicest hotel I have ever seen in Mexicali.
