Can you also please tell me specifically WHY you think it's an adj. or adv.?
Thank you sooo much!

I'm so sorry -- I forgot to add the sentence.
Here it is: Everyone's going to come EARLY.

What sentence? its neither in your question sentence.
because An adverb modifies a verb and
an Adjective modifies a noun
what word is early modifying none
a verb (He drove slowly. — How did he drive?)
an adjective (He drove a very fast car. — How fast was his car?)
another adverb (She moved quite slowly down the aisle. — How slowly did she move?)

Do you mean the sentence of your question? If so, it is neither. An adjective modifies a noun, and an adverb modifies a verb. The word "early" in the sentence does neither, and the way I indicated the word "early" with quotes is considered the proper way to do it, not with all capitol letters.

It's an adverb. It answers the question when. It decribes the verb come--forget the fact that come is not the main verb of the sentence.
You could rewrite the sentence to make it easier to disect and understand. Something like: Everyone one will be here early.

In the context of your sentence, it's just a word that pops up so I'd say neither adjective or adverb.

Adverb, not an adverb either...?
An adjective describes.....if your sentence said "early morning".....early describing what kind of morning.

Early is modifying "come" which is the verb, so "early" is an adverb in this sentence.

Generally an adverb will describe an action, adjectives describe objects.

Hmmm ..... I think it is actually used as a noun in that sentence, subject of the clause "whether the word early is used .....", so did you intend to write another sentence??
