TENSE AND ASPECT

Tense : Tense is a form of verb in English to show the


time of occurrence of an action , activity or event
whether it is happening in the present , in the future , or
in the past .

Aspect : Aspect is a verb form that shows how the


meaning of the verb (action or state) has been
completed , occurs repeatedly, or continuously
(progressive).

The presence of tenses always comes along with the


presence of aspect. In simple terms , tense means the
form of time while aspect describes how something
happened .

durative; what we only know is that the event completely occurred .

contrast of perfective aspect that is to show an
uncompleted event or action .

called me .

Resultative is the contrast of inchoative . It expresses a process of an


event having a final point of completion then we pay our attention to
the end of the process (Saeed, 2004 : 121 ).

The state of being closed is resulted from the actions of closing .


Resultative aspect also occurs in the verbs which have the meaning of
“ cause to move ". The example of it is :
