continually/continuously?

 Continually/Continuously?



Something that happens continuously happens without break.

He has been continuously reading the book since 10 am.

There is no break in the action. His eyes haven't gone off the book.



Something that happens continually happens with break in action.

He has been continually reading the book since 2020.

No one can read a book for one year without any break. Here the sentence means that he has been reading with some intervals. He must be reading it once a week or leisurely.
