have or had ever + past simple

I think you mean:

When I was a child, I was all the time there.

I mean that I have/had ever traveled there (not live in there) one or two times.

sir

TommyensrI mean that I have/had ever traveled there (not live in there) one or two times.

I would say "As a child, I had been there."

Why not use "present perfect (have)" because it is used for telling the situation from the past till present time.

TommyensrWhy not use "present perfect (have)" because it is used for telling the situation from the past till present time.

Then you may probalby say something like "I have never been there, even as a child ".

TommyensrWhy not use "present perfect (have)" because it is used for telling the situation from the past till present time.
When I was a child, I have/had ? ever been there. (You are talking about the past. What you did as a child. It is not something you do all the time.)

TommyensrI mean that I have/had ever traveled there (not live in there) one or two times.

My 2 cents:

As a child, I have been there once or twice.
I have been there one or two times when I was a child.

AnonymousMy 2 cents:

As a child, I have been there once or twice.
I have been there one or two times when I was a child.

Both wrong, IMO, as "as a child" is quite remote in the past, requiring simple past.

They should read:

As a child, I was there once or twice.
I was there one or tw

I agree with MH.

"As a child" works best with simple past.

When i was child, I have/had ? ever been there.

The sentence is so anomalous because of the word ever that it is impossible to understand exactly what thought you are trying to express.

Did you mean the negative never?
Did you intend ever as the opposite of never, that is, always?

Maybe you mean I ha
