Talk:bound

bounded
According to the Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, page 120 read and write are atelic, but adding an object that is ‘bounded’ yields a telic expression: [13 ] She’s writing a note [telic: accomplishment] ii She’s writing notes. [atelic: activity] What does bounded mean here? --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:35, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
