This is a fun game people often play at parties. You can use it to practise the past participle.I'll start by asking a question starting with "Have you ever...?". The first person to comment will answer "yes" or "no" and then ask another "Have you ever" question. The next person will answer that question and write another question.The game can go on and on for days, months, or years...Remember to answer the question from the last comment. Let's avoid taboo subjects and foul language. (I'll delete any comments that I don't approve.)Let's begin!"Have you ever been to Canada?"(The game is well under way. Don't answer this question about Canada. Answer the question from the last person who left a comment. Make sure to look at the last comment, not the first.)---------------------------------Grammar tip: To write a proper "have you ever" sentence you will need to know the past participle (not simple past) of the verb you use. Look it up in a search if you aren't sure ("past participle swim"). Even native speakers use the wrong ones sometimes!Example: go=been; write=written; swim=swumHave you ever been to Mexico?Have you ever written a love story?Have you ever swum in the ocean?
No, I've never taken an international train. I haven't been to Pakistan either. You could say I'm a bit of a "home body". In other words, "I don't get out much". I hope to travel more in the future.
No, I've never been to Bali. I enjoyed reading about it in "Eat, Pray, Love," though. One of my good friends spent a lot of time there last year. I hope to see "what all of the fuss is about" one day.
Have you ever written a letter that you didn't "have the guts" to send?

"what all of the fuss is about"=why people can't stop talking about something
"have the guts"=feel brave enough; put fear aside
No, I have never been on a donkey. But yes Lynne, I've had many experiences with wild animals while driving through the mountains of Canada. I once got stuck in a herd of giant cows. I was driving a red car and it felt like I was being chased by bulls.
Have you ever experienced extreme weather such as a tornado or hurricane?
I have never been to Mexico.
Yes, I have written my love story 2 years ago.
I have never swum in the ocean. And I didn`t go to the ocean. Because my country isn`t no ocean.
Yes, I have swum in the ocean. Actually, it makes me feel more successful as a swimmer. It is much easier to swim there because one floats easier in the salt water. Where I'd like to swim the most is in Mexico, the place which my newest student calls home. MamaPat
