The Difference betwen "Always and Forever"

Dear All,

How are you today?

Ok, recently I had explained about “expecting” and “look forward to”.

And In this occasion I want to try to explain “what is the difference between words “always” and “forever” “

Let’s Start:

v  The word “Forever” is used when we want to say that something will last for all time, or in other words, it will never end.

Example:

Ø  I love my wife forever

Ø  There will forever be distrust between Budi and john

Ø  The people have been killing each other in wars, forever

As you can see my examples, we can use this word for past and future situations.

v  We can use word “Always” to explain these types’ situations, but the word “Forever” is more formal and dramatic, while “always” is more for every day conversation.

For example:

Ø  I always love my children

Ø  There will always be distrust between Budi and John

Ø  The people have always killed each other in wars

However, we can use “always” in other situations. It can be used when we want to say that there is a certain condition which is true every times something happens.

For example:

Ø  When I get home from work, my husband is always watching TV.

Ø  I always get annoyed when I’m in crowded train.

We can also use it to describe the state of a person or thing in general when it never changed.

For example:

Ø  Enny is always happy, I really envy her.

Ø  The traffic light on Main Street is always broken, I don’t understand, why they don’t fix it.

Thanks and regards
