### Aspect Analysis and Time Correlation

1. **He is always complaining about the food.**
- **Aspect:** Present Progressive (Continuous)
- **Meaning:** The use of "always" with the present continuous aspect here emphasizes the habitual nature of the action, often with a sense of irritation or criticism.
- **Transposition:** Normally, habitual actions are expressed in the Present Simple, but here the Present Progressive is used to convey annoyance.

2. **The floor shook as they passed, and they had gone.**
- **Aspect:**
- "The floor shook as they passed" – Past Simple, indicating a completed action in the past.
- "They had gone" – Past Perfect, indicating an action that was completed before another past action.
- **Neutralization and Transposition:**
- In "The floor shook as they passed," both actions are simultaneous in the past and could be expressed simply, without emphasizing sequence, which is typical in narrative past.
- In "and they had gone," the Past Perfect is used to emphasize that their departure was completed before another action or moment in the narrative, marking a time sequence. This is a typical use of Past Perfect without neutralization or transposition.
