Can I use 行っている間（に） in the sense of a habitual action? Knowing that is punctual, stative, and a motion verb, I also know that, `` means "I/he/she have gone to Japan (and am still there)" rather than "I am currently going to Japan." I also feel that can be used in the sense of habitual action, so that `` can mean either "I'm at the college" or "I go to college" depending on the context. That being said, can I also use in the sense of a habitual action in conjunction with )? > - I wish I had studied more when I was going to college. > - While I was in college, I broke up with my girlfriend from high school. > > > - It was raining while I was at school. > - I did my homework while I was at school. >

> That being said, can I also use in the sense of a habitual action in conjunction with )?

The answer is yes. can mean both “have gone” and “go habitually,” with or without .

> I go to Osaka for business every Monday.
