Keep practicing
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing/habitual), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person plural — a command directed to multiple hearers to engage continually in the action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active imperative, second person plural, calls for ongoing or habitual action. "Keep practicing" preserves the root sense of repeated or patterned activity and reflects the continuous force of the present imperative. |
