He’s continually pissing on my boundary wall. But it’s a good thing he doesn’t piss continuously, or he’d be dead.
Let me explain. A continuous action is one that doesn’t cease, like the waves on the ocean, rolling and rolling. Big Ben has been ticking continuously since 1859 (except maybe when they change batteries, but you know what I mean.)
Continually refers to an action that has a start and a finish, which happens over and over, but doesn’t go on uninterrupted. So this guy next door, he peed on my wall last night, zipped up and walked away. Tonight, he’ll probably do the same thing. Continual, right?
And I continuously hate his guts.
What do you think? Leave a comment and let’s talk.
