To make the negative we add 'not' between the auxiliary 'have'and the past participle.

I haven't had it before.
The question form is auxiliary 'have/has' + past participle.

Present perfect or past simple

Present perfect or past simple | Johnny Grammar | Learn English | British Council

By BritishCouncilLE

We use the present perfect to talk about something in the past that is still true now. There is no mention of any definite time in the past:
I'm very nervous, I've never sung in public before.
He has sung in a concert.

We use the simple past to talk about events that happened at a definite time in the past:
When did you do the other concert?
He sang at the anniversary celebrations.

Remember if we say 'when' something happened we must use the simple past .
