1 ever meaning 'at any time'
Ever is a 'non-affirmative word' (see 381). It is used especially in questions to mean 'at any time'. Compare:

Ever is possible in negative clauses, but neller is more usual than not eller. I don't ever want to see you again. (OR I never want . ..)
We also use eller after if, and with words that express a negative idea (like nobody, hardly or stop).
Come and see us ifyou are ever in Manchester.
Nobody ever lIisits them. I hardly ever see my sister. I'm going to stop her ever doing that again.

Eller is used in affirmative clauses in comparisons and with only. You're looking lovelier than eller.
