Hello and welcome to "Hello Word!", the podcast where we explore the wonderful world of English vocabulary. I'm Alex, your host, and today we're diving into a simple yet incredibly useful word: always. Always is an A1-level adverb, meaning "at all times" or "on all occasions." It's one of those words you hear and use frequently, making it a must-know for anyone learning English. For example, you might say, "She is always on time for work", which means she is never late. Or, "I will always remember this day", meaning this moment will stay in your memory forever. Let's look at a few synonyms for always. One synonym is constantly, as in, "He is constantly talking during the movie." Another is forever, as in, "I will forever be grateful for your help." You can also use perpetually, as in, "The machine is perpetually in need of repairs." Each of these words shares the idea of something happening without interruption or on every occasion. Now for some antonyms. The opposite of always includes words like never, as in, "She is never late." Another antonym is sometimes, as in, "We sometimes eat out on Fridays." You could also use occasionally, as in, "He occasionally takes a walk in the park." These words show that something happens less often or not at all. In everyday life, always is a great word for expressing habits, routines, or strong feelings. For example, you might say, "I always drink coffee in the morning" to describe a daily ritual. Or you could use it for emphasis, like, "You always know how to make me smile", which conveys a sense of reliability and affection. Here are a few more examples of always in action: "He always checks the weather before leaving the house." "We always celebrate birthdays with a big family dinner." "You should always wear your seatbelt in the car." To wrap up, today we explored the word always, its meaning, some synonyms like constantly, forever, and perpetually, and antonyms like never, sometimes, and occasionally. It's a versatile adverb that you can use in countless situations to describe something that happens every time. Thank you for joining me on "Hello Word!"
