The word continual is different with continuous. Continual means an event happens again and again. It happens, then stops. Continuous means an event happens without stopping.
It is helpful to remember this analogy
continual : broken line (_ _ __ _ __ _ _ ____ )
continuous : straight line ( _______________ )

I think it is better if you'll put emphasis on the words continual and continuous.
