Hello,
How do we use "ever" in reported speech ? Can you say : He asked her if she had ever been to the USA. (Have you ever been to the USA ?) or do we have to use already instead of ever.
Thank you for your help
Jean-Luc
Use "ever". "already" means something different.

So, what's the difference ? I've always learnt that "ever" was only possible in questions.Use "ever". "already" means something different.

Again, thank you. Jean-Luc
