Padrão de uso:
to [verb] consistently
Erro comum:
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').
Sinónimos

Antónimos
