A is for Aspect

Scott Thornbury explains why aspect is not tense - rather it is a way of looking at events/situations, irrespective of time.

Yep. This is why we need guys like Thornbury. They just take your understanding one step further. Simple=countable, progressive =uncountable. It's a really nice analogy. I love the idea that uncountable = messy))))

Very interesting and wise explanation, Scott.
