(每周六、日推送) 动词有很多种分类,其中有一种分法是“根据持续时间”,可以持续下去的动词被称为“延续性动词”;不可持续,只能在瞬间发生的动词被称为“非延续性动词”。 先来看“延续性动词”,比如: study, work, stand, lie, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, read, sleep, live, stay… 这些动作都可以延续下去,所以可以和“表示时间段”的状语连用。 比如: We have known each other for ten years.我们认识十年了。 He will live in my house till the end of this month.月底前他都会住在我房子里。 再来看“非延续性动词”,也可以叫““瞬间动词”,其特点是动作一旦发生,就意味着完成和结束,不再延续。所以它们不能跟“时间段”连用。 举一波典型例子: open, close, begin, finish, come, go, move, borrow, lend, buy, arrive, see, die… 所以下面的句子是错误的: He has died for three years.他去世三年了。 应该说:He has been dead for three years. 如果非得用 die,可以这样说:He died three years ago. 再来: I joined the company for two years. 我加入公司两年了。 这句也是错的,因为 join 是“非延续性动词”,可以改成: I have been in the company for two years.或I joined the company two years ago. 再来: You might borrow my computer for two days.可以借我的电脑两天。 错误!因为 borrow 是非延续性动词,改成 keep 就对了,因为它是个延续性动词:You might keep my computer for two days. 最后提醒一下,一个动词是否“延续”,也不是一成不变的,如果变换时态,可能会转化,比如: She told me a piece of news. 这里的 told 是“非延续性动词”,但在现在进行时中,有变“延续性动词”了: She is telling me a piece of news. 老规矩,学到了点赞!《语法解密》合集
