瞬間性動詞:
open,stop,like,love,die,win,close,shot,begin,start enter,finish
1、終止性動詞：表示不能延續的動作，即動作發生後立即結束。如：begin,arrive,borrow,buy,break,close,come,fall,dic,finish,go,leave,lend,mary,reach,receive,open,sell,start,stop等。
終止性動詞的肯定式是不能持續的，所以不能和表示壹段時間的狀語連用，而終止性的否定式就可以和表壹段時間的狀語連用，因為否定本身就是可以延續的。
如：have a cold是持續性動詞，表示“狀態”，可與表延續性的時間狀語連用，不定冠詞不能省略。
I′ve had a cold since my arrival（到達 n.）.
I didn′t go to school because I had had a bad cold for days.
catch a cold是短暫性動作，表“動態”：它不能和延續性時間狀語連用，不定冠詞“a”可有可無，catch可用take,get代替。
Put on your coat,or you′ll catch/take/get a cold.
Take care not to get cold.
但是，若cold前有形容詞修飾時，則不定冠詞不能省。
如：Brown has taken a slight cold.
註意下列句子：
I have caught a cold for over a week.(×)
I have had a cold for over a week.(?)
2、延續性動詞：表示可以延續壹段時間的動作或狀態。如：be,drink,fly,eat,keep,lie,live,rain等。
延續性動詞常不能和表示壹個短暫具體的時間狀語連用；這類動詞如用於進行時態，則可以和表示壹個短暫具體的時刻連用。
He worked at eight yesterday afternoon.(×)
He was working at eight yesterday afternoon.(?)
