Remember how we make Questions ? Have (has) + subj + Vppart + Obj?
In order to make short answers, we use the adverb (Yes or No), the subject in its pronoun form and the auxiliary in the correct form.

PRESENT PERFECT WITH EVER AND NEVER
We use ever in questions with the present perfect. It means ‘at any time in your life’. Have you ever spoken to him? Has he ever had a serious accident?
We use never in sentences with negative sense in the present perfect. It means ‘ at no time in your life’. He’s never driven a F1 car.
Ever and never come before the past participle.
