In plain English: To continue means to keep doing something without stopping.

Usage: Use "continue" when describing the act of resuming or maintaining an action without stopping. It applies to both starting over after a pause and simply extending an ongoing activity into the future.
The word continue entered English from the Old French continuer and its Latin ancestor continuāre. It replaced an earlier native term that meant to endure or persist through something.
