Which is a one distinguishing feature in the English language that is absent in Spanish

Answer 1

One distinguishing feature in the English language that is absent in Spanish is the use of the "continuous aspect" in verb tenses. In English, we have specific forms to indicate ongoing actions (e.g., "I am eating," "She was running"), whereas Spanish typically uses simple past or present forms (e.g., "Estoy comiendo," "Ella corría") to convey similar meanings. While Spanish can express ongoing actions as well, it does not have a dedicated grammatical structure for continuous aspect in the same way that English does.
