Συχνό λάθος:
Learners often use "incessant" when they simply mean "constant" or "continuous" without a negative feeling. In modern English, "incessant" almost always suggests that something is annoying or unwanted. Learners may also try to use it after a verb (e.g. "the noise was incessanting"), but it is only an adjective: you say "the incessant noise" or "the noise was incessant".
