### sense in the lessons

Often used in stories with a slight exaggeration: «talked endlessly», «the road stretched endlessly». In maths, numbers go on endlessly (there is no biggest number), and some decimals like 1/3 = 0.333… go on endlessly.

### note

Adverb from «endless» (without end). Often an exaggeration in everyday talk: it just means «for a very long time». In maths, «endlessly» or «infinitely» is literally true for number lines and repeating decimals.
