I argue that by examining structure BV + AA as a single unit I can explicate not only the properties of AAs, but also which argument(s) V1 or BV of the structure BV + AA take(s), if I examine the interaction among three AAs such as teiru, tearu and teoku which are connected with BVs., The primary objective of this paper is to demonstrate that for the proper analysis of V1 + te + V2 combination of Japanese verbs it is essential to regard the first verb in the conjunctive form as a Base Verb or BV and then classify the second verb of this combination as an Aspectual Affix or AA, that combination BV + AA behaves likes a single unit and that AA does not take its own arguments.
