Haven't been and have never been

Would you answer me?

It is the difference between 'haven't been' and 'have never been'.

It looks strange with the word 'never'. But is it true?

Acbeat It W hat is the difference between 'haven't been' and 'have never been' ? 'haven't been' can be modified by an adverb of time that says when you haven't been (something). 'have never been' already contains this information, so it doesn't occur with that kind of adverb.
