Betydning
The same event can be presented as in progress, complete, repeated, or connected to now. This helps show whether we are describing an action as it unfolds, a habit, or a result that matters now. Some languages use special verb forms; others have no such forms and rely on other words or context. Past, present and future places an event in time, while How an event unfolds shows how we view it.

Check whether the wording shows an event as ongoing, complete, repeated, or connected to another time, rather than simply saying when it happens.
