Usage Note :

Do not confuse always and ever. If something always happens, it happens regularly or on every occasion. I would always ask for the radio to be turned down... He's always been an active person. If something is always the case, it is true at all times. No matter what she did, she would always be forgiven. You use ever, for example in negative sentences, questions, and with superlatives, to talk about any time at all when referring to the past, present, or future. No one ever came... Will I ever see France? ...the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

不要混淆always和ever。always指总是或每次都是：I would always ask for the radio to be turned down（我总是要求将收音机的音量调小），He's always been an active person（他总是很积极）。always也可指始终或一直：No matter what she did, she would always be forgiven（无论她做了什么，总是可以得到谅解）。ever用于否定句、疑问句或最高级，表示过去、现在或将来的任何时候：No one ever came（没有人来过），Will I ever see France（我以后能有机会去法国吗），the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me（别人对我说过的最中听的话）。

Collins COBUILD English Usage - always collapse

always

If something always happens in particular circumstances, it is certain to happen in those circumstances. If something has always been the case, there has never been a time when it was not the case.

When always has one of these meanings, it is used with a verb in a non-continuous tense. If there is no auxiliary, always goes in front of the verb, unless the verb is `be'.

    Talking to Harold always cheered her up.

    A man always remembers his first love.

If the verb is `be', you usually put always after it.

    She was always in a hurry.

    There is always someone to lift the baby up.

If there is an auxiliary, you usually put always after it.

    I've always been very careful.

    He's always been so kind to us all.

If there is more than one auxiliary, you usually put always after the first one.

    Zoe has always been allowed to choose what she wanted to eat.

If you say that something is always happening, you mean that it happens often and repeatedly and that this is annoying or surprising. When you use always like this, you use it with a verb in a continuous tense.

    Uncle Harold was always fussing and worrying.

    The bed was always collapsing.

WARNING

You do not use always in comparisons, negative sentences, or questions to mean `at any time in the past' or `at any time in the future'. Instead you use ever. For example, you do not say `They got on better than always before'. You say `They got on better than ever before'.

    ...the biggest shooting star they had ever seen.

    Neither of us would ever again get a job in films.

    How will they ever be able to serve a boss?
