ASPECT



Definition: Aspect refers to how an event or action is to be viewed with respect to time, rather than to its actual location in time.
Aspect in a verb shows whether the action or state is complete or not


Examples:
  • She's doing a crossword puzzle. (incomplete- progressive aspect)
  • They've washed up. (complete- perfect aspect)
  • The progressive aspect is often called 'continuous'.
