Writer's Note
So can you use "didn't" in place of "haven't"? "Haven't" and "didn't" differ because they inform us about time.
"Haven't" refers to the past up until now. So if you haven't done something, you haven't done it for a specific period of time; day, month, ever, etc.
"Didn't" refers to a specific point of time that has already passed.
- I _____ seen this movie before.

- _____ he get a call for an audition?
- We _____ gone on a vacation in years.
