I �ve honestly never heard it, but I �ve googled it and it exists, so I guess �be perseverant � is acceptable.

Your sentence for perseverant is fine. It is extremely formal English though and not many people will have even heard of the word before. I�d suggest telling your student that.

"Keep at it" and "stick to it" are the colloquial ways of expressing perseverant. |

Which student book is �perseverant� from?
I have never heard it either. It is definitely not common usage although perseverance is.
It is now in my vocab though now. I shall be perseverant in committing it to my word bank.
Cheers

I have searched the word in the student �s book again. I thought there was the adjective perseverant! Then I found only the noun : perseverance is it in the book.
Thanks |

Hi, I �m not native but the word "perseverant " sounded fine to me till I �ve read all your wise comments. So I �m just wondering if "persevering" is more usual than perseverant . Thanks in advance . Flori |
