Note:

L'equivalente inglese di sempre è generalmente always, che precede il verbo quando questo è in forma semplice (tranne to be) e segue il primo ausiliare quando il verbo è composto: si dimentica sempre le chiavi = she always forgets her keys; è sempre in ritardo = she is always late; ci siamo sempre aiutati = we've always helped each other. - Quando è usato in italiano come rafforzativo davanti al comparativo, sempre non si traduce e si usa un doppio comparativo: sempre più stanco = more and more tired; sempre più grasso = fatter and fatter; sempre meglio = better and better. - Va infine notato che, sebbene always indichi azione ripetuta e pertanto si usi normalmente con il presente abituale, è impiegato con il presente progressivo quando si vuole dare una connotazione negativa all'azione: mia moglie è sempre al telefono = my wife is always speaking on the phone
