Time for a review of ever and never.
Ever means 'at any time'and is used in questions.
Use ever with nothing, nobody for things that haven not happened before. "Nobody has ever seen me dance!"
Ever is also used with 'the first time' for first experiences. "This is the first time I've ever been abroad."
Use never when you have not had an experience: "I have never been to France."
There are many different verb tenses we can use to talk about the past.
The past simple is used to talk about finished and completed actions in the past, e.g. my friend phoned me last night.
We can also use two past simple verbs if there were two actions that happened right after each other, e.g. the cup fell and broke.
