9.7 Irritating habits
We can express irritation with someone's habit by using always and the present continuous, e.g.:
 | Jill's always ringing me up when I'm at work.
(La Jill sempre em truca quan sóc a la feina.) |
| They're always complaining about their neighbours.
(Sempre es queixen dels veïns.) |
| My sister is always smoking in the house.
(La meva germana insisteix a fumar dins de casa.) |
We can express a similar meaning with will (stressed), e.g.:
| A: I'm really tired today. (Estic realment cansat avui.) |
| | B: Well, you will watch the whole of the midnight film. (Bé, insisteixes a veure tota la pel·lícula de mitjanit.) |
| My wife has to talk to our son. He won't listen to me.
(La meva dona ha de parlar amb el nostre fill. A mi no m'escolta.) |
| My sister will smoke in the house.
(La meva germana insisteix a fumar dins de casa.) |
