常見錯誤

❌The river flows endlessly to the sea.
✅The river flows continuously to the sea.
💡for neutral, factual duration, use 'continuously'; 'endlessly' adds a feeling of tedium that doesn't fit a calm description.
❌I love you endlessly.
✅I love you forever.' / 'I will always love you.
💡'endlessly' suggests something tiring, so it sounds wrong in romantic contexts.
