  Continuous and progressive aspects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In general, the progressive aspect expresses the dynamic quality of actions that are in progress while the continuous aspect expresses the state of the subject that is continuing the action.
The continuous aspect is expressed with a regularly conjugated form of to be, together with the present participle of the main verb.
The continuous aspect can be applied with any mood, voice, and tense, and in combination or not with the perfect aspect, although for obvious semantic reasons, some combinations are less common than others.

 aspects   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Aspect is the grammatical category representing distinctions in the temporal structure of an event.
Aspect is concerned with the internal temporal constituency of the one situation.
Aspect must be carefully distinguished from tense, even though the formal expression of the two categories is often deeply intertwined in languages.

Aspect relates to considerations such as the completion or lack of completion of events or states described by a verb.
Aspect answers the question: “Is the even/ state described by the verb completed or is it continuing?” There are two aspects in English: perfect and progressive (continuous).
The simple aspect indicates one or both of the following: that the action or series of actions is complete that the situation is permanent or is regarded as permanent We can use both dynamic and stative verbs in the simple aspect.

 Aspect, Metaphor, and Variability in Tamil.
Tamil aspect markers provide information and commentary about the manner in which an action occurred, especially how it began or ended, whether it was intentional or unintentional, whether it had an effect on the sp eaker or on someone else, whether it preceded another action or was synchronous with it, and so on.
Aspect as a grammatical category is thus derived from the semantic elements of deixis, stasis, antipathy, andor containment.
Aspect may be bi-polar, and paradoxical; meaning 'intentional' in one context and 'accidental' in another.

The continuous component is similar to a data-flow graph or a set of one-way constraints between actual inputs and outputs.
Several researchers are using constraints for describing the continuous aspect of graphical interfaces[8, 9, 19], and other recent work in 3D interfaces uses similar continuous approaches[3, 27].
Continuous inputs have often been treated by quantizing them into a stream of "change-value" or "motion" events and then handling them as discrete tokens.

 The Quantitative Aspect - The Dooyeweerd Pages
Then we look at the spatial aspect, and look at a right angle triangle with sides of one unit, and find that the hypotenuse has a length whose amount is not a rational number, that is cannot be constructed as a ratio.
He places continuity within the spatial aspect, whose kernel is 'continuous extension', with a strong retrocipation to this aspect.
It is interesting to find that Dooyeweerd, a lawyer, understood this deep mathematical idea, and saw the kernel of the spatial aspect as continuous extension rather than shape, position, distance, curvature, or whatever.

 LILT:Aspect
The three aspects in English combine with the verb tenses to give a range of meanings to the English verb.
Because aspect and tense combine to produce different forms and meanings, particular combinations such as the present simple (i.e.
’) aspect is formed using the auxiliary ‘be’ and the present participle.

Past Progressive expressing Continuous Aspect: "I was playing tennis." At a specific time in the past, the speaker was engaged in the act of playing tennis.
So, if aspect describes the temporal flow of the action, aspect is not the temporal flow of the action, which you have admitted is Time, according to #2.
Aspect is the temporal flow of the action relative to the time of reference.

 Grammatical aspect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aspect is a somewhat difficult concept to grasp for the speakers of most modern Indo-European languages, because they tend to conflate the concept of aspect with the concept of tense.
Spanish and Ancient Greek, for example, have a perfect aspect (not the same as the perfective!), which refers to a state resulting from a previous action (also described as a previous action with relevance to a particular time, or a previous action viewed from the perspective of a later time).
The aspect is indicated by the case of the object: accusative is telic and partitive is atelic.

 Concerning Corner's Messy Greek Argument   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
It supposedly is the case: a) that these participles identify their action as being either progressive or continuous only (nothing punctual or punctiliar); and b) that his indicates in turn that one must believe until death or the day of the Lord in order to enter the kingdom of God.
Meanwhile, it is annoying that Corner should use the phrase “continuous tense” given the fact that in linguistics the word “tense” receives a more restricted meaning, as is well the case.
In one sense, there is no so-called continuous tense as questions of duration of a given action pertain to aspect, not to tense, though one could have a continuous aspect, a present tense, a present continuous phase, etc.

The past perfect continuous can however be used to talk about a situation or activity that began before a particular past time and finished at that time or shortly before it, e.g.:
Note that since the continuous aspect focuses on situations in progress, and there is no concept of progression in verbs which describe states, the past perfect continuous cannot be used with stative senses of verbs, and the past perfect is used instead.
Note also that the past perfect continuous cannot be used when reference is made to the number of times an event or situation occurred before a past point in time.

 [B-Greek] 1 Cor 14:5: present infinitive aspect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Within the category of imperfective (non-completed) aspect, the three main types are: 1.
General aspect (used in general, timeless statements) By iterative aspect is meant a repeated action.
It looks like your friend has been hung up on the idea of present tense always implying continuous aspect when in this and most other cases of LALEW the repeated action is meant rather than continuous action.

 Greek Verb Tenses (Intermediate Discussion)
The 'time' aspect of the tense of a verb really only comes into affect when the verb is in the indicative mood.
Whether the writer is wishing in any particular instance to emphasis the progressive aspect of the verb or just indicate a simple occurrence at the present time, there is only one choice of tense to use.
Therefore, one must consider the context and the basic meaning of the verb to determine whether the emphasis is on the continuous aspect of the action or merely on the present time element.

 Grammatical aspect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grammatical aspect represents a formal distinction encoded in the grammar of a language.
Although languages that are described as having imperfective and perfective aspects will agree in most cases in their usage of these aspects, no two languages will agree in every situation.
Aspect in Slavic is a superior category in relation to tense or mood.

 [B-Greek] 1 Cor 14:5: present infinitive aspect
The only action that can even be considered continuous, in the sense of on-going, would be the wishing, not the speaking.
Anyway, as one post has already mentioned, the actually wish is that they would all prophesy, not all speak in tongues, and we know that the prophets were only to speak one at a time.

The aspect of the verb is related to "temporal character" of the action/state described by the verb.
In common aspect the verb takes particular forms for moods and tenses, which are named "simple conjugation".
In addition, the same moods (and the same tenses) are different for active or passive voice, or for common or continuous aspect.

My explanation is that the Perfect Aspect is used to express actions that have been completed by the present, after the past.
While grammars have agreed that it is a continuous action, and you can describe it as a completed action.
The selling point of Aspect Theory is its vagueness, which encourages participants to create as many vague terms as possible, so they may shift the discussions of Present Perfect to the discussion of definitions such as Aspect, Version, Model, Habitual, Proximate.....

 names of the tenses - Englishpage.com Forums
There are 4 different possible aspects of a verb: simple, continuous (also called progressive), perfect, and perfect continuous.
The aspect of a verb describes the internal structure of the action, at whatever time the action takes place.
Now every general tense (as opposed to a pure tense) is a combination of a pure tense and an aspect (where the simple aspect leaves the pure tense unchanged.) If you multiply 3 pure tenses by 4 aspects, you get 12 general tenses (= 12 tense-aspect combinations):
