| Phrase | constant |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "constant" means continuous or frequent and repeated, without stopping, or all the time: "Their constant arguing is driving me crazy!" Or, "Do you think the constant noise of living in a big city affects our sleeping habits?" The word "constant" can also mean unchanging: "Our predictions assume constant sales growth of 15% per year, but actual sales figures may be different." Or, "Why can't this new heating system keep the home at a constant temperature?" Sometimes "constant" means faithful and loyal: "That dog was his constant companion." Finally, as a noun, a "constant" is something that always stays the same and does not change: "His love for her was a constant throughout her life, no matter what happened." |
