continue

Don't stop now

Continue means to keep doing something without stopping, or to resume after an interruption: The rain continued through the night, We'll continue this discussion tomorrow.

Something that continues extends in space or time: The path continues beyond the ridge.

In legal contexts, to continue a case is to postpone it to a later date.
