What do you call words like always and never?

I would say those are temporal adverbs.

Can we use the before Best?

Which article is used with best?

If the noun phrase modified by best follows best, then you normally use the article, e.g., “Here are the five choices. This is the best choice”. If it doesn’t, then you can omit the article, e.g., “Here are the five choices. This is {best / the best}”.

What is the article before Apple?
