#### activity verbs dynamic verbs denoting actions, e.g. dance, drink, eat, paint, play, rain, read, work, write, etc.) #### all-inclusive present (neutral, general, state, unrestricted, timeless) Present Simple used in an almost atemporal sense, i.e. without reference to any specific point in or period of time(usually with stative verbs)**, **e.g. *Oil floats on water.* 3. **aspect** (derived from Latin aspicere 'look at') is a grammatical category used in the description of verbs which expresses how a given situation is viewed by the speaker with respect to time #### attitudinal progressive carries with it the implication that the speaker strongly disapproves of or is annoyed by what is denoted by the verb in the progressive, e.g: She's always breaking things. 5. **continuative present perfect** (state-up-to-the-present) - Present Perfect used With state verbs when the situation extends over a period of time lasting up to the present moment, e.g. That apartment has been empty for ages. #### definite past Past Simple use when the speaker has a definite time in mind when the event occurred #### dynamic verbs verbs denoting events (momentary verbs, transitional event verbs, activity verbs, process verbs) #### habitual present (iterative) Present Simple which represents a whole series of individual events, repeated over the period in question, as making up a generalized state, e.g. *He walks to work*. #### instantaneous present Present Simple used for events seen as instantaneous actions happening so quickly that it is practically without duration and it produces a rather dramatic effect: *Higgins passes the ball to Smith, who heads it straight into the goal.* #### iterative present perfect (habit-in-a-period-leading-up-to-the-present)- iterative or habitual use of the present perfect with event verbs occurring in a period of time extending up to the present moment, e.g. I\'ve often told my children to say that I am not in when I am. #### momentary verbs dynamic verbs which refer to happenings so brief that they are completed within a moment and it is therefore difficult to think of them as having any duration e.g. kick, bounce, hiccup, nod, tap, wink, hit, knock, etc. #### perfective aspect aspect oriented towards and including the present moment but not co-extensive with it because it is rather a stretch of time and has some relevance at the terminal point of the reference time, be it in the present or in the past. #### process verbs dynamic verbs denoting processes, e.g. change, grow, mature, slow down, widen, etc. #### progressive aspect aspect denoting ongoing or temporary situations (Present Progressive, Past Progressive, Present Perfect Progressive) #### stative verbs verbs normally not used with the progressive aspect (verbs of being, bodily sensation cognition, possession, inert perception, containment, emotion and volition, symmetric relation). 16. **tense** morphosyntactic forms (Present Simple, Past Simple) whose function is to link the time of an event or situation that the speaker refers to and the moment of communication. In other words, the primary function of tenses is to express time reference. #### transitional event verbs dynamic verbs which denote transition of an event into a state, e.g. arrive die, fall, land, leave, lose, stop, etc. 18. **verbs of 'being'** linking or copula verbs expressing current state, e.g. be, look, seem, appear, remain, smell, taste, feel, sound, keep.
