Generics, habituals, and iteratives all have something to do with the notion of event repetition. However, iteratives expressly state repetition of events, whereas generics and habituals designate generalizations over repeatedevents. Though not adhered to uniformly, a ‘habitual’ sentence makes a generalization over repeated events withsubject noun phrases denoting individuals or groups of individuals, whereas a ‘‘generic’’ sentence has a subject that denotes a type of thing. Generics and habituals are distinguished from iteratives in several ways, among themthat the former sentences are stative, whereas the latter are nonstative. Generics and habituals introduceintensionality. Generics and habituals are also focus-sensitive.
