Continuous is an adjective. You would describe perhaps a class as feeling continuous. Continuing is a verb. "Continuing on with today's lesson" is one example. Continued means uninterrupted. A great example is "to be continued" which you hear at the end of episodes of something like a TV show or movie.

I understand what you said, but I mean is there any parallel between the group of continuing/continued and the group of surprising/surprised? Look at them, they seem very similar to me. All of them derive from their verb forms and gain the properties of adjectives. Surprising means causing surprise and surprised--feeling or showing surprise. The difference is easy to tell. I know this sounds ridiculous and probably doesn't make any sense, but I'm trying to find a way to differentiate these words. And I've seen examples like "continuous rain", "continuing/continued support", their meanings were very much alike in my eyes, which made me really confused.
