Using never in an interrogative question makes it negative-interrogative, e.g. "Aren't you...?" "Didn't he...?" "Won't they...?" etc. I see, it means the same Haven't you ever...?.
2 certainly not; by no means; in no case.
A rhetorical question is a question that is not meant to have or does not require an answer.
A negative question is one that is worded in such a way as to require a “no” response for an affirmative answer and a “yes” response for a negative answer. In other words, negative questions switch the “yes/no” response order of regular, or positive, questions to a less intuitive “no/yes” order.
Questions like these, which do not require or expect an answer, are called rhetorical questions. Because they are questions in form only, rhetorical questions may be written without question marks.
If a question is logically correct (does not make assumptions which might be false), it should have an answer. But, it does not mean it is answerable.
So, to form an indirect question, again start with an indirect question phrase, such as “Can you tell me…?” Then, for information requests, add one of the six question words: where, what, when, who, why or how. We call these “wh-question” words.
We form yes-no questions with an auxiliary verb (be, do or have) + subject + main verb or with a modal verb + subject + main verb: Be: Is she working very hard? Were they travelling together? Do: Does that taste okay?
Yes / No questions are also called closed questions because there are only two possible responses: Yes or No. When forming a Yes / No question, it must include one of these verbs: BE, DO, HAVE, or a modal verb.
A complex question, trick question, multiple question, fallacy of presupposition, or plurium interrogationum (Latin, 'of many questions') is a question that has a complex presupposition. The presupposition is a proposition that is presumed to be acceptable to the respondent when the question is asked.
What is the origin of omniscient? One who is omniscient literally knows all.
I will never shop at that store again. I have never seen that happen before. That man has never heard of you. We will never forget what we saw.

Never and ever share similar meanings but are used differently. Never means 'at no time' and is a negative term, used in affirmative constructions (to avoid double negatives). Ever means 'at any time' and is generally not used in affirmative sentences (apart from the exception mentioned below).
The best thing to do is give them a FULL answer, not just yes or no. You should answer, "No, I don't". Or "No, but I like other nuts." "No (or yes), I'm allergic to peanuts."
In indirect questions the order is subject + verb. There are other expressions that follow the same rule: I don't know what he is doing here. I wonder when he will find the truth.
Indirect questions start with a phrase like 'could you tell me...' or 'do you know...'. For example: Direct question: Where is the bank? Indirect question: Could you tell me where the bank is?
The Ask Why Three Times strategy is a simple but effective problem-solving technique to get to the root of a problem. Once you successfully identify the real reason, only then can you be able to focus your time and energy on solving it.
The premise of the game is simple: One person, called the “answerer,” thinks of an object. The other player — the “questioner” — asks up to 20 yes-or-no questions in order to determine what object the answerer is thinking about.
When someone asks you a simple question, is it very rude if you stay silent by choosing not to answer? Yeah it is rude to just stay silent. However, it is not rude to verbally decline to answer, change the subject, explain if the question makes you uncomfortable or any number of things that don't include answering.
