"אבא שלי תמיד היה אדם רגיש."

Translation: My father was always a sensitive person.

what's the difference between "always was" and "was always". This is wasting time to make these corrections

Report it so it stops happening.

I don't think it makes a difference... either should be OK.

why not: sensitive man?

[MrYelloX]

Man=אדם, Person=איש/אישה.
"Person" refers to personality (אישיות) and has no gender: ex: "She is a sensitive person"
"Man" refers to "male" (גבר) and "human" (בן-אדם/בת-אדם) so it applies the gender inside.

Both are correct, your answer is literally more accurate (Dad=male)

[DL-Trolls]

This is a great post, but, Man=איש, Person=אדם.

[MrYelloX]

Maybe both are correct?

But the most correct for English is "has always been"

[flootzavut]

I wouldn't say that was more correct - it just means something different.

"My father was always a sensitive person" = My father was a sensitive person, with no information given about the present. Most likely explanation - my father died. (Possible but less likely explanation - my father is still alive but is no longer a sensitive person. I would expect that to be expressed as something like "My father always used to be a sensitive person" though.)

"My father has always been a sensitive man" = My father was a sensitive man in the past and still is one. Inference: He is still alive, and he is still a sensitive person to this day.

TL;DR: "My father has always been a sensitive person" is an absolutely correct English sentence, but it isn't a better version of the "always was/was always version, it's a different sentence.
