continuous and progressive aspects
The continuous and progressive aspects (abbreviated and ) are grammatical aspects that express incomplete action or state in progress at a specific time: they are non-habitual, imperfective aspects.
In the grammars of many languages the two terms are used interchangeably. This is the case with English: a construction such as ''"He is washing"'' may be described either as ''present continuous'' or as ''present progressive''. However there are certain languages for which two different aspects are distinguished. In Chinese, for example, ''progressive'' aspect denotes a current action, as in "he is getting dressed", while ''continuous'' aspect denotes a current state, as in "he is wearing fine clothes".
As with other grammatical categories, the precise semantics of the aspects vary from language to language, and from grammarian to grammarian. For example, some grammars of Turkish count the -iyor form as a present tense;〔G.L. Lewis, ''Turkish Grammar''〕 some as a progressive tense;〔Robert Underhill, ''Turkish Grammar''〕 and some as both a continuous (nonhabitual imperfective) and a progressive (continuous non-stative) aspect.〔Jaklin Kornfilt, ''Turkish''〕
== Continuous versus progressive ==
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. For instance, "Tom is reading" can express dynamic activity: "Tom is reading a book" - i.e. right now (progressive aspect), or Tom's current state: "Tom is reading for a degree" - i.e. Tom is a student (continuous aspect). The aspect can often be ambiguous; "Tom is reading Ulysses" may describe his current activity (it's in his hand), or the state of having started, but not yet finished, the book (it's in his bag).
