B2
action
1
continue to exist or happen
to continue for a long time, or not stop or go away
Модель употребления:
to persist [for length of time]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes use "persist" for any kind of continuation, even when "continue" is more natural in everyday speech. "Persist" is often used for problems, pains, doubts, or conditions that do not go away, and can sound too formal or strong for neutral situations like "The class persisted for an hour" (better: "The class lasted an hour").
Синонимы
continue (more general and common; does not suggest that something should have stopped)
|
last (focuses on duration over time rather than the idea that it keeps going unexpectedly)
Антонимы
stop (the event or situation comes to an end)
|
disappear (the thing that was continuing is no longer present)

2
keep doing something despite difficulty
to keep doing something even when it is hard or people tell you to stop
Модель употребления:
to persist in [doing something]
Частая ошибка:
Learners often confuse "persist" with "insist". "Persist" is about continuing an action over time, especially when it is difficult ("She persisted in studying"), while "insist" is about strongly demanding something or saying something is true ("She insisted on paying").
Синонимы
persevere (very close in meaning; slightly more formal and often positive, used for long, patient effort)
|
keep going (more informal and encouraging; focuses less on resistance and more on not stopping)
Антонимы
give up (to stop trying because something is too difficult)
|
quit (informal; to stop doing something completely)

Модель употребления:

store (general computing term; does not always highlight that the data remains after the program ends)
|
