Hello! I would like to ask if there's a difference in meaning between these two.

Have you been punched in the face?
Have you ever been punched in the face?

@Rox111,
Yes, there is a difference.

Have you been punched in the face? is more immediate, as in what the hell happened to your face?

The inclusion of the word 'ever' is asking just that... has it ever happened to you.

Look up the use of "ever" to understand more fully.
