思馬得英語100個句子學英語語法（57）：延續(xù)性動詞與非延續(xù)性動詞

　　<例句>

　　She stood there for three hours.

　　她在那兒站了三個小時。

　　<語法分析>

　　動作可以延續(xù)，能與一段時間連用的動詞叫作延續(xù)性動詞，如本句中的stand。較常見的延續(xù)性動詞有carry, exist, work, write，stay和talk等。如果動作是在瞬間完成，不能與一段時間連用的動詞叫作非延續(xù)性動詞。較常見的非延續(xù)性動詞有l(wèi)eave, stop, put, bring, catch, open, close, fall, kill和lose等。但有些動詞既可以作延續(xù)性動詞又可以作非延續(xù)性動詞，其意義略有不同。
