Mẫu sử dụng:
incessant [noun]
Lỗi thường gặp:
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".
Từ đồng nghĩa
constant (More neutral; does not always suggest annoyance, while "incessant" usually does.)

|
ceaseless (Slightly literary; very close in meaning but used less in everyday speech.)
|
relentless (Adds a sense of pressure or harshness, not just lack of stopping.)
Từ trái nghĩa
occasional (Describes something that happens only sometimes, not continuously.)
