<def-root>This is an abstract frame for durative activities, in which the <fen>Agent</fen> enters an ongoing state of the <fen>Activity</fen>, remains in this state for some <fen>Duration</fen> of <fen>Time</fen>, and leaves this state either by finishing or by stopping. The <fen>Agent</fen>'s <fen>Activity</fen> should be intentional.
This frame is intended mostly for the inheritance of common FEs, and to provide the frame structure for the beginning, ongoing, finish, or stop stage of an <fen>Activity</fen>, each of which constitutes a subframe of this frame. This frame should be compared to the Process frame.</def-root>
<def-root>This FE identifies the <fen>Activity</fen> in which the <fen>Agent</fen> is engaged.</def-root>
<def-root>This FE identifies the amount of <fen>Time</fen> an <fen>Activity</fen> takes.</def-root>
<def-root>This FE identifies the <fen>Place</fen> where the <fen>Activity</fen> occurs.</def-root>
<def-root>This FE identifies the <fen>Time</fen> when the <fen>Activity</fen> occurs.</def-root>
<def-root>The <fen>Agent</fen> is engaged in the <fen>Activity</fen>.</def-root>
<def-root>Any description of the activity which is not covered by more specific FEs, including secondary effects (quietly, loudly), and general descriptions comparing events (the same way). It may also indicate salient characteristics of an <fen>Agent</fen> that also affect the action (presumptuously, coldly, deliberately, eagerly, carefully).</def-root>
