Always follow 'keep' with an '-ing' verb. You can't say 'keep to try.' It must be `keep trying` or `keep running`.
Tone Matters
If you say it too fast or with a flat voice, it can sound like you are annoyed. Use a warm, rising tone to sound truly encouraging.

What It Means
Keep trying is your go-to phrase for persistence. It means 'don't stop now.' It suggests that success is possible if you just stay the course. It turns a moment of failure into a temporary hurdle. Think of it as a gentle push forward.
How To Use It
Use it as a full sentence or part of a longer thought. You can say it to a friend struggling with a video game. You can use it in the office when a project gets messy. It works best when someone feels a bit discouraged. Just add it after they mention a struggle. It shows you believe in their eventual success.
When To Use It
Use it when someone is learning a new skill. It is perfect for hobbies like cooking or playing guitar. Use it at work when a colleague's code has a bug. It is great for kids who are frustrated with homework. It fits perfectly in a supportive text message. If someone says 'I can't do this,' you say keep trying.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it if someone is in physical danger. Avoid it if a situation is truly hopeless or toxic. If your friend is trying to fix a broken relationship that is clearly over, it might be insensitive. Also, don't use it if someone is clearly exhausted and needs a break. Sometimes 'take a rest' is better advice than keep trying.
Cultural Background
Western culture, especially in the US and UK, prizes the 'can-do' attitude. We love stories of people who failed many times before winning. This phrase reflects that 'never say die' spirit. It is deeply rooted in the idea of the 'growth mindset.' We believe effort is the key to intelligence and skill.
Common Variations
Keep at it(more informal and focused on the task)Keep on trying(adds a bit more rhythm and emphasis)Don't give up(the more direct, slightly more emotional version)Hang in there(used when the situation is difficult, not just a task)
