Is the word ever a noun or pronoun?

The word "ever" is not a noun or pronoun. It is an adverb.

Here's why:

* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They tell us how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.

* Nouns name people, places, things, or ideas.

* Pronouns replace nouns to avoid repetition.

Examples of "ever" as an adverb:

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

* "This is the ever-lasting flame." (modifies the adjective "lasting")

* "She sang ever so sweetly." (modifies the adverb "so")
