what is the difference between "ever" and "always"????

Question

Answer

ever = at any time during the lifetime of (whatever the topic is)

always = all the time, continuously, not changing

Answer

"ever" means "at any time". "always" means "all the time" .

Ever is the contrary of never, when you put "ever" in a negative sentence it means never, the same doesn´t happen with always:

I don´t ever agree with him= I never agree with him
   I don´t always agree with him= sometimes I agree and sometimes not

In some cases "ever" can mean always, but in imperative or emphatic phrases and with some preposition like "as ever" or "forever".

Answer

'always' - at any time, never ending.

'ever' can have the same meaning as 'always' but then it is used in a more formal way, not for casual language.
Other meanings of 'ever' are 'at any time' (used in negative sentences) and to emphasize something in a comparison (the best/worst ever).

I hope this clarifies it a little.
