By making a comparative study on the past tense marking by Japanese and Chinese EFL learners, the present research aims to explore the validity of the Aspect Hypothesis and the factors influencing temporal acquisition. A four-way ANOVA was made with the cloze-type test score as the dependent variable, and first language, language proficiency, lexical aspect, and verb frequency as the independent variables. The results largely supported the Hypothesis with minor disagreement. Furthermore, effects of first language, lexical aspect and verb frequency were confirmed.
