English markers of habitual aspect
Okay kiddo, let me explain it to you very simply.
When we talk about habitual aspect in English, it means that we are talking about things that we do over and over again or regularly.
To show that we are talking about something that we do habitually or regularly, we can use special words in our sentences that tell us that. These special words are called "markers of habitual aspect." They help us to understand when someone is talking about something that happens all the time.
Now let's talk about the different markers of habitual aspect that we use in English.
The first one is the word "usually." This word tells us that something happens in a regular pattern or habitually. For example, "I usually brush my teeth before I go to bed."
The second marker is "often." This word means that something happens frequently or many times. For example, "I often go to the park on the weekends."
The third marker is "always." This word means that something happens every time or without fail. For example, "I always eat cereal for breakfast."
Finally, there is the marker "used to." This means that something happened regularly in the past but doesn't happen anymore. For example, "I used to walk to school every day when I was younger."
So, that’s all there is to it, kiddo. English markers of habitual aspect are just words that help us to understand when something happens regularly or habitually.
