continuar

The everyday verb for to continue or carry on — an action, a story, or a state of affairs ("continuar trabajando", "la reunión continúa"). Note the written accent on the ú in most present-tense forms (continúo, continúas, continúa, continúan), which breaks the diphthong.

• Vamos a continuar la clase después del descanso. — We're going to continue the class after the break.
• Ella continúa trabajando en el mismo proyecto. — She's still working on the same project.
• La lluvia continuó durante toda la noche. — The rain continued all night long.

Dropping the accent on the ú in the present tense — continuo (no accent) is the adjective/noun "continuous," while continúo (with the accent) is "I continue"; the accent is what separates the two words.

• expression Continuará — The standard fixed phrase shown at the end of a TV episode, comic, or serialized story to signal it isn't finished — the direct Spanish equivalent of "to be continued," used across Spanish-language television and print media instead of writing FIN (the end).
