Can we use "ever" in affirmative sentences? I am tired of hearing that we have to use it in negative and interrogatives sentences only. But, what happen when find it in affirmative one`s. That's why, I want to discuss these sentences: I don't think I will ever able to speak in English. (maybe,it is used so, because the begining is negative.) The first ever cartoon produced in our country. ( I don`t have idea, I thought "ever" was an adjective, but it is imposible, besides it is affirmative) You came home late as ever. (it means as at any time in the past, but it is in affirmative; however, as ever is phrase.) THANKS IN ADVANCE. I HOPE YOU HELP ME.

"Ever" in an affirmative sentence can be used to express the meaning of "at any time in history or my life," for emotional emphasis, or to emphasize a superlative (the best, the worst, etc.). 1. More than EVER before, we need compassionate and intelligent world leaders. (at any time in history) 2. MOM: You need to be home by 10 p.m. SON: What (EVER) for? (The "ever" emphasizes the speaker's irritation with what seems to him to be an unreasonable request.) 3. This is the best EVER birthday party. This is the best birthday party anyone has EVER given me. (an adverb used with a superlative; sometimes with a perfect tense)
