Present perfect
Hi;
I have some questions about present perfect and 'before'.
Let's my friend and I are at the restaurant. And he says: Have you eaten sushi before? And I say: I haven't eaten it before.
This doesn't necessarily mean that I'll eat it, does it?
______
Let's say I'm talking over a phone to a random person. He says: Have you ever been to the UK before? Me: I've never been there before. - It's clear in this situation that I can't be there at this very moment. I'm still at home. Do 'I haven't been there' and 'I've never been there' work too?
___________
Let's say I just arrived somewhere. And I say: I've never been here before. - But I'm here now. The waiting is over.
_____________
Are my analyzes above correct?
