1. imperfective

   Imperfective aspect, in the field of grammar and linguistics, refers to a verb tense that expresses an ongoing, incomplete action or state. These actions have not been completed or are in the process at a certain time. It's also used to describe habitual or repeated actions. Of note, imperfective does not specify whether the action is to be completed in the future. It simply highlights the ongoing nature of the action. It contrasts to the perfective aspect which views an action as a simple whole without focusing on the internal structure or progression of the action.
