Else/ function
Message from mohammad51 posted on 24-12-2019 at 00:55:41 (D | E | F)
Hello
Perhaps, you help me with this. (The grammar function of else)
Thank you in advance

What is ~~else~~ the function of else? adjective or adverb ?I searched many sites of dictionaries such as Oxford, Cambridge, Collin, etc.I reached a result no agreeing between all those.Some say adverb, some say adjective, some say both.
One page said if it is a pronoun to mean other then it is adjective.On the other hand, if ( else ) likely means beside \ in addition then it is ( adverb)
Some dictionaries for both cases say it is only ( adverb ) So, which one to go with ?
Examples:
Who else knows?
Try something else. here = additional things ..you = subject and something = object
What is about else ? is it apposition Or as some say adverb ?
Where's everybody else? It is a pronoun here. How it is considered adverb ?
Everybody else = other people or persons so it is a pronoun even to mean (extra)
last sentence example : The one I ask about
I will give you something else. What else functions adverb or adjective?
Many thanks to who answers my question.
