Use of present perfect with ever, never — reference

We use the present perfect when

something has already happened several times so far but may happen again.

we talk about an experience (have ever done something / been somewhere)

Remember the words:
ever for questions, means "one or more times"
never for answers, means not even one time.

Examples

— Have you ever been to Australia?
— No, I've never been there.

— Has he ever ridden a horse?
— Yes, he has ridden a horse once.
