用法パターン：
incessant [noun]
よくある間違い：
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".

|

|
relentless (Adds a sense of pressure or harshness, not just lack of stopping.)
対義語
