Why it works

Ya, todavía no, aún no, nunca and alguna vez all keep the window open.

An open window takes the perfect, whatever day the action happened.

¿Has probado…? and Nunca he estado en… are the two you will say most.

Why not no hablé

todavía no hablé con mi jefa

I did not speak to my boss yet

Closes a window that todavía says is still open. The two do not fit together.
