Schema d'uso:
to [verb] consistently
Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse 'consistently' with 'constantly'. 'Consistently' means something happens in the same way every time and is reliable, while 'constantly' means it happens very often, sometimes too much. Learners may also place it awkwardly in the sentence; it usually goes before an adjective or after/before the main verb (e.g., 'She consistently works hard', 'He performs consistently well').
Sinonimi
regularly (Focuses on something happening often or at fixed times; 'consistently' highlights the lack of change in quality or level.)
|
steadily (Emphasizes smooth, even progress over time; 'consistently' can also stress reliability or uniform behavior.)
Contrari
inconsistently (Suggests behavior or results that change a lot and are not reliable.)
|
sporadically (Means happening only sometimes and irregularly, rather than in a steady, consistent way.)
