Is the word ever a preposition?

No, the word "ever" is not a preposition.

Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. They usually indicate location, direction, time, or manner. Some common prepositions include:

* on

* in

* at

* to

* from

* with

* by

* for

"Ever" is an adverb. It modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It usually indicates time or frequency.

Example:

* Ever since I met you, my life has changed. (Here, "ever" modifies the adverb "since")

Note: While "ever" can be used in phrases that resemble prepositions, it's not functioning as a preposition itself. For example, "ever since" or "ever after" are adverbial phrases.
