What it means
続ける attaches to the masu-stem of a verb and means to continue or keep doing that action. It emphasizes that the action goes on over time without stopping. The action can be repeated or maintained, depending on the verb.
Usage note
Use the masu-stem before 続ける, not the dictionary form. Do not confuse this pattern with 続く, which means that something continues or lasts and does not directly describe someone continuing an action.
