 Re: the ing-form
I don't agree that one sentence says she is still doing it.
To me, both sentences simply say that she admitted that she committed adultery with her old flame. (talking about the past)
Imagine that she commiitted adultery on one occassion two weeks ago. Both sentences can describe this situation, and comments about whether 'she is still doing it' are obviously not applicable.
Neither sentence is "continuous"; it may have happened only once.
'She admitted that she is committing adultery with her old flame.' is continuous. |
