Default Re: Simple Past vs Present Perfect

thank you very much to all, I really appreciate your help!
I considered your advice and redid the test. I scored better than the first time but I still had 2 mistakes :

i) "Did you finish yet?" - I thought that sentence is wrong because "yet" indicates Present Perfect. Why is this sentence correct?

ii) "When you were living in London, did you ever try jellied eels?" - I voted for wrong. Because I thought u have to use the past perfect. But maybe the guy that did the quiz put it in wrong? I don't know. Anyhow, it says the sentence (as I quoted it above) is correct.

Thanks!
