英语动词按其动作发生的方式以及动作发生过程的长短,可分为延续性动词和非延续性动词。下面小编告诉你英语延续动词的用法,大家一起来看看吧!英语延续动词的用法:1. 延续性动词也有人叫它持续性动词,它表示能够延续的动作,这种动作可以长时间延续下去或产生持久的影响。英语中的延续性动词比较多,如study, work, stand, lie, know, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, sing, read, sleep, live, stay等。He worked all day in the fields. 他在地里干了一天。I waited for you for an hour. 我等你等了一个钟头。He stayed in London for over a month. 他在伦敦待了一个多月。He watched them eating. 他瞧着他们吃饭。2. 非延续性动词非延续性动词,也有人叫它终止性动词、短暂性动词、瞬间动词,它表示不能延续的动作,这种动作发生后立即结束。这类动词常见的有begin, buy, close, come, die, fail, find, finish, go, join, kill, leave, lend, lose, sell, start, stop, borrow等。如:They reached the village in the afternoon. 下午他们抵达那个村子。I haven"t finished the work yet. 这项工作我还没有干完。She stood up and left the room. 她站起身走出房去。3. 与完成时连用有的人认为非延续性动词不能与现在完成时连用,你也这样认为吗?错了!其实这是一种误解。事实上,无论是延续性动词还是非延续性动词,它们都可以与现在完成时连用。如:He has lived here for ten 10 years. 他在这里住了10年了。He has just arrived. 他刚刚到达。上面两句的谓语都用了现在完成时,但第一句中的动词live是延续性动词,而第二句中的动词arrive为非延续性动词。两者真正不同的是,延续动词根据需要可以连用一段时间,而非延续性动词通常不能连用一段时间,所以第一句中的live可以连用一段时间for ten years,第二句中的arrive则不可以连用类似for ten years这样的一段时间。4. 非延续性动词的如何变为延续性动词非延续性动词由于它所表示的动作只在瞬间完成,不能延续,所以它不能与一段时间连用,若在实际语境中需要连用一段时间,则应改为与之同义的延续性动词。如:begin / start→be on die→be dead come / go→be inborrow→keep finish→be over leave→be awaybuy→have get to know→know join→be in / be a member of请看下面的例句子:运动会已经开了三天了。误:The sports meeting has begun for three days.正:The sports meeting has been on for three days.他入党10年了。误:He has joined the Party for 10 years.正:He has been in the Party for 10 years.正:He has been a Party member for 10 years.他死了三年了。误:He has died for three years.正:He has been dead for three years.5. 在否定句中的用法非延续性动词不能与一段时间连用,这通常只限于肯定句,在否定句中则没有这样的限制——因为所有的非延续性动词一旦被否定,就成了一种状态,而所有的状态都是可以持续的。如leave(离开)是非延续性动词,而not leave(没有离开)则是一种状态,因为“没有离开”其实就是“呆在原处”,相当于still stay there之类的意思,所以它是延续了。如:误:He has left here for three years. 他离开这儿有三年了。正:He hasn"t left here for three years. 他已有三年没离开这儿了。如何区分延续性动词和瞬间动词:1. 延续性动词,表示能够延续的动作。如:study, work, stand, lie, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, read, sleep, live, stay 等。延续性动词可以与表示时间段的状语连用。如:for three years, since 2010, how long..., till ...等。How long can I keep the book? 这本书我可以借多久?They will work here till the end of this year. 他们要在这儿工作到今年年底。We have been good friends since childhood. 自孩提时代我们就是好朋友。2. 非延续性动词,亦叫“终止性动词”或“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,这类动词不能跟“时间段”连用。如:open, close, begin, finish, come, go, move, borrow, lend, buy, arrive, see, die 等。终止性动词跟一段时间连用是错误的,举例并改正如下:His brother has joined the army for three years. (误) 应改为:1. His brother has been in the army for three years. (将不延续的join 改为延续的be in)2. His brother joined the army three years ago. (将for three years 该为three years ago)3. It is three years since his brother joined the army. (用It is + 时间 since…)You can borrow this book for a week. (误) 应改为:1. You can borrow this book and return it in a week.2. You can keep/have this book for a week.(1)当然,非延续性动词在否定状态下可以跟“时间段”连用。例如:I haven’t seen him for two days. 因为“终止性动词”一旦被否定,就意味着“动作未发生”,而未发生的动作则意味着延续。(2)有的非延续性动词可以用于进行时态,但不表示动作正在进行,而是将来发生的动作。因为“进行着的动作”意味着“动作的延续”和“未完成”。正是由于终止性动词一旦发生就意味着完成和结束,所以进行状态下的终止性动词体现出“未完成特征”,“未完成特征”实际就是“未发生特征”。既如此,这个动作就是将来发生了。所以,即便句中没有将来的时间,一般也应译为“将要,就要,快要”。如:I think I am finishing the job in a day or two. 我想再过一两天我就会完成这项工作的。The shop opposite the road is closing. 路对面的那几商店快要关门了。The old worker is retiring next year. 这位老工人明年就要退休了。The goat is dying because of a deadly disease. 这头山羊因患了致命的疾病,快要死了。3. 一个动词的延续与否,不是永恒不变的,这跟语境有关。同样是一个动词,用过去式或现在完成时,有可能是“终止性的”,使用进行时或完成进行时,有可能变成“延续性的”。例如:I read the book. (不延续)I have read the book. (不延续)I am reaidng the book now. (延续)I have been reading the book for a week. (延续)你给的这两个例句:I will tell him as soon as I see him. (不延续)She is telling a story. (延续)根据as soon as的用法,它引导的从句谓语动词应该是不延续的。如:As soon as I arrive here, I will telphone you.延续性动词的用法特征:一、延续性动词和非延续性动词的概念英语中,动词按其动作发生的方式、动作发生过程的长短,可分为延续性动词和非延续性动词。延续性动词表示能够延续的动作,这种动作可以延续下去或产生持久影响。如:learn, work, stand, lie, know, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, sing, read, sleep, live, stay等。非延续性动词也称终止性动词、瞬间动词或短暂性动词,表示不能延续的动作,这种动作发生后立即结束。如:open, close, finish, begin, come, go, arrive, reach, get to, leave, move, borrow, buy等。二、延续性动词的用法特征1. 延续性动词可以用于现在完成时,其完成时态可与表示“时间段”的状语连用。表示时间段的短语有:for+一段时间(eg: for two years), since从句(eg: since he came here), since+时间点名词(eg: since last year), during the past three years, how long, for a long time等。例:I have learned English since I came here. 自从我来到这儿就学习英语了。2. 延续性动词不能与表示短暂时间的“时间点”状语连用。如:It raind at eight yesterday morning.(误)rain为延续性动词,而at eight表示“时间点”,前后显然矛盾。如果要用延续性动词表示一瞬间的动作,可以借助come, begin, get等非延续性动词来表示。上句可改为:It began to rain at eight yesterday morning.又如以下这段对话:-When did you get to know Jack? 你什么时候认识Jack的?  -Two years ago. 两年前。-Then you"ve known each other for more than two years. 也就是说你们俩认识两年多了。-That"s right. 没错。since后接延续性与短暂性动词的用法:一、 若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是终止性的过去时,则从句表示的时间是“从动作开始的那一时刻起”。如:He has studied very hard since he came to our school.自从他来到我们学校,他学习就非常努力。We have been missing them since they left here自从他们离开这里,我们就一直很想念他们。It is/has been three years since he finished the work.自从他完成这项工作已经三年了.这是最常见的一种用法,此处不再多述。二、若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是持续性动词或表示状态的动词的过去时时,则从句表示的时间是“从那持续动作或状态结束时算起”。如:I haven’t heard any noise since I slept. Sleep 为持续性动词,sleep的动作结束时,即“醒来”时,这句应译为“我醒后还未听到任何声音”。John is now with his parents in New York, it is already three years since he was a teacher约翰现在和父母一起住在纽约,他不当教师已经三年了。所以, I have not heard from him since I lived in Shanghai. 不少人会望文生义,将该句译为:“自从我住在上海以来,就再也没有收到他的信了。”而实际上这个句子的译文是: “自从我离开上海,就再也没有收到他的信。”这种译法常被人们误用,我们不妨再多举几个例子看看:How long is it since you lived in Shanghai?你离开(没住在)上海多久了?It is half a month since he was a League member.他退团(不当团员)半个月了。It’s been quite some time since I was last in London我离开伦敦已很长时间了。比较:He has written to me frequently since I was ill.自从我病愈以来,他屡次给我写信。(从句谓语为状态动词)He has written to me frequently since I fell ill.自从我生病以来,他就屡次给我写信。(从句谓语为终止性动词)三、若since引导的状语从句的谓语为持续性动词的现在完成时,则表示动作和状态延续到现在(说话时刻),其表示的时间的起点应从动作发生之时算起。如:I haven’t heard from him since he has lived there。这里has lived表示动作的持续性,时间的起点应从:“开始居住”时算起。因此此句可理解为“自从他(开始)住在那儿起,我就一直没收到他的来信”。Since we have owned a car, we have gone camping every year。自从我们自己有了汽车,我们每年都去野营。试比较:1. Since I’ve been at this school, we have had three headmasters.自从我到这所学校,我们已换了三个校长了。Since I was at this school, they have had three headmasters.自从我离开这所学校,他们已换了三个校长了。2.He has never been to see me since I have been ill. 自从我生病以来,他从未来看过我。He has never been to see me since I was ill. 自从我病愈以来,他从未来看过我。由此可见,since引导的从句持续动词的一般过去时和现在完成时所表示的意思恰好相反。换言之,前者以肯定的语法形式反映着否定的逻辑内容,而后者的形式与内容是一致的。It has been three years since he worked here.他不在这工作已经三年了It has been three years since he smoked.他已经戒烟三年了至于It is +一段时间+since…的句型与It has been +一段时间+since…意思相同。前者是规范说法,后者是口语说法。应注意的是,在这种结构中,since引导的从句绝对不能用否定式的谓语动词来表示否定意义,下面两句都错了:It is a long time since he didn’t study English.It’s two months since you didn’t come to see me.正确的说法为:It’s a long time since he studied English 他好久没学英语了。You haven’t come to see me for two months. 你有两个月没来看我了。
