cursive aspect
[…] of the action or state of affairs expressed by the verb to the time of utterance; rather they express how the speaker regards the event: many grammarians distinguish between a constative aspect, in which an occurrence is simply registered as such, as something concluded, and a cursive aspect, in which the action is described in its course.
