An expression or saying meaning "insist"
|
|
Dear colleagues, I �m looking for an expression or saying meaning "To continue with some behavior or course of action", or " to do something over and over again until you get a result". I have an expression in my languange, but I can �t think of one in English. It came out when my students told me that it �s good of me to "insist" so much on them learning new vocabulary, because in the end they �ll get some good result. Thank you!! |

Hello! I think "persist" may be one verb for that specific case. Or "persevere". Maybe a native speaker can be of greater help. |

Yes, "persist" and "persevere" are just right. We also have the expression "to keep at it". Bruce |
