| Note d'uso | Use 'constant' when discussing something that remains unchanged over time. It can be used in both formal and informal contexts, but is often used in academic or scientific discussions. | Use 'continuous' to describe actions that happen all the time without breaks. Avoid using it in very informal settings; use 'non-stop' instead in casual conversations. |
