continuous和continual的区别:

continuous做表语和定语 be continious或continious+名词
continual只做定语 continual+名词
(2)词意的不同:
continual:反复,不停止(happen repeatedly)
eg:continual knocks on the door反复的敲门声
continous:连续性的=unbroken(lack of interruption)
eg:a continuous line一条不间断的线
continuous pain/headache持续的痛/头痛
而continuing的含义是继续,例如:continuing education持续教育/继续教育

没有反复的含义
