About This Resource

This C1 resource examines how aspect choices present events from different viewpoints rather than assigning one fixed meaning to each verb form. It develops control of boundedness, duration, completeness, current relevance, and stance across simple, progressive, perfect, and perfect progressive structures.

What You’ll Learn

• Compare how different aspect choices present the same situation from different viewpoints.
• Distinguish bounded events, ongoing activity, prior completion, and duration in context.
• Interpret how aspect can affect current relevance and speaker perspective.
• Choose an aspect form according to the meaning and information structure needed in the sentence.
