always

Without any exception

Always means at all times or on every occasion: She always arrives early.

It can indicate continuous duration: They had always lived there.

Always also expresses persistent habits or tendencies, sometimes with exasperation: He's always losing his keys.

In promises or reassurances, always emphasizes permanence: I'll always love you.

The word can soften suggestions: You could always try again tomorrow.
