English Grammar
Hi friends, I just want to make sure of this. Do they mean the same thing?
I think they pretty much mean the same thing. It is just that the first and second options are a bit informal, am I right?
1. I never saw snow
2. I never see snow
3. I've never seen snow

Hi Kai!
These don't all mean the same thing - they are three different tenses.
1. "I never saw snow" is past (e.g. I never saw snow when I was younger)
2. "I never see snow" is present (e.g. I never see snow now)
3. "I've never seen snow" is a tense called the perfect. (e.g. I've never seen snow before). This tense is pretty difficult to explain so I recommend looking online for videos etc. that explain it.
Although the sentences have different meanings, its possible that you've heard some natives use them incorrectly.
