Is the word ever an adjective?

No, "ever" is not an adjective. It's an adverb.

* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They answer questions like:

* When? (ever, never, always)

* Where? (here, there, everywhere)

* How? (quickly, slowly, beautifully)

* To what extent? (very, quite, extremely)

For example:

* "Have you ever been to Paris?" ("Ever" modifies the verb "been")

* "The movie was ever so boring." ("Ever" modifies the adverb "so")

Let me know if you have any other questions!
