Continuous and progressive aspects

In the grammars of many languages the two terms are used interchangeably. This is also 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''.
