与英语中习惯方面的传统说法相反，习惯的唯一标记是will和它的过去式would。用作一种反现在完成时，用来对比过去和现在的情况。在某些语境中，不同的时态，而不仅仅是简单的时态，可能会得到习惯性的解释，但这些并不是它们的意思。一般阅读是对语境的解释；英语中没有属体标记。
Contrary to the traditional account of habitual aspect in English, the only marker of habituality is will, with its past tense, would. Used tofunctions as a kind of anti-presentperfect tense, contrasting past states of affairs with present ones. In certain contexts, various tenses, and not merely the simple ones, may receive habitual interpretations, but these are not their meanings. Generic readings are contextual interpretations; there are no markers of generic aspect in English.
