student asking question

If I use "ever" instead of "could" in this situation, would it change the meaning of a sentence?

No, it would not. "Even" can be used here without changing the meaning of the sentence. When speaking, using "ever" is actually more common than not using it and the sentence flows more naturally as well. Ex: This house has everything you could need. Ex: This house has everything you could ever need.
