This paper aims to describe aspectual expressions and their semantic interpretations in English sentences, and to discuss their aspectuality with regard to the language universal categories of aspect from a perspective of Typology. First, the mechanism expressing aspectuality in English contains two elements; the lexical element and the grammatical element. The basic lexical elements in determining aspectual meanings are the aspectual types of verbs in the sentences. However, the semantic interpretations of the sentences are also affected by other lexical factors, such as the semantic features of various verbal complements including the boundness of arguments. Second, the grammatical method of expressing aspectuality in English is to use the aspect forms of progressive or perfect. The progressive form in English is a typical aspect category of expressing ‘Progressive' from a typological perspective. Furthermore, it can also express other aspectual meanings corresponding to the language universal categories of ‘Imperfective' or ‘Habitual', according to the aspectual types of the verbs. Third, the perfect form of English is the grammatical method of expressing diverse aspectual meanings corresponding to ‘Perfective', ‘Resultatives' and ‘Continuous', as one form. Moreover, these meanings of English perfect form are not the same as those of ‘Perfective'. Therefore, perfect form should be regarded as a new independent aspect category of ‘Perfect', which expresses the aspectual meaning of ‘the relevance to a reference time'.
