'ever' in comparative

Hi teachers !

I have another question today.

In Korea we are usually taught that 'far, much, even, still, a lot' can emphasize comparatives like in #1. What I wonder is whether 'even' 'a little' and 'by far' can modify comparatives.


1. She is even smarter than him.

2. She is ever smarter than him.

3. She is by far smarter than him.

4. She is a little smarter than him.


So many thanks to native teachers.
