用法說明
How is "Constantly" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Constantly"?
constantly doing vs constantly to do
- constantly doing 表示一個持續、反覆進行的動作或狀態，強調其連續性。
- constantly to do 在標準英語中並非正確的搭配。
constantly作為副詞修飾動詞時，通常不直接與不定詞to do連用。 - 若要表達「總是去做某事」的習慣或傾向，應使用 constantly + V-ing 或 keep + constantly + V-ing 等結構。
- 在假設語氣或非真實情境中，可能會看到
would constantly + V（原形動詞），但這仍非constantly to do的結構。 EN: She is constantly checking her phone for messages. 翻譯: 她不停地查看手機有沒有新訊息。
EN:He would constantly complain about the noise when he lived downtown.
翻譯:他以前住在市中心時，總是不斷抱怨噪音問題。
總結建議
建議使用 constantly + V-ing 來表達持續或反覆發生的動作，避免使用 constantly to do 的結構。
