What part of speech is the word never?

"Never" is an adverb.

Here's why:

* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. "Never" tells us how often something happens (or doesn't happen).

* Examples:

* "I never eat breakfast." (modifies the verb "eat")

* "She is never late." (modifies the adjective "late")

* "He runs never slower than 6 minutes per mile." (modifies the adverb "slower")
