There is considerable confusion regarding the English suffix « ing,
which is usually treated as « progressive. The sentence « I regret
telling him shows, however, that this is not always the case. The
very same form can sometimes evoke an ongoing process and sometimes
a completed action. This book brings much-needed clarity to this
area of English grammar, proposing a simple coherent explanation
based on meaning. ESL teachers will find it a valuable contribution
to the « focus on form approach. It will also be of interest to
linguists as it addresses the problems of tense and control that
have been the object of considerable debate.
