短暂性动词和完成时态练习题

短暂性动词，延续性动词和现在完成时

短暂性动词是指动作一旦发生就立即结束。它不能和一段时间连用。这类动词有：go, come, arrive, leave, begin, start, join, marry 等；短暂性动词的肯定式不能与表示一段时间的for或since或how long等状语连用。例如：

His father got ill. I have received his letter. 但是，不可以说：His father got ill for a week.

I have received his letter for three days.

在否定句中，短暂性动词可以和表示一段时间的状语连用。例如：

We haven’t heard from Jane for a long time. I suppose something must have happened to her.

延续性动词是指动作发生后还可以延续一段时间或者相当长的一段时间。如：live, work, study, learn, sleep等，延续性动词可以和表示一段的时间状语连用。

值得注意的是，表示一段时间的状语除了“for+一段时间”外，还有since+n./从句（时间点），since+时间段+ago，疑问词how long，in the past+时间段，all these+时间段，from…to（时间点）以及till/until+n./句子等等。例如：

How long _______ your brother joined the army? A. has B. had C. is it since D. was there that

另外，动词的延续性与非延续性还体现在这两种句型中：

延续性动词的肯定式+till/ until 短暂性动词的否定式+till/ until

请看例句：

We waited until he came. I didn’t go to bed until my father came back home last night.

如果短暂性动词与表示一段时间的时间状语连用，必须将短暂性动词改为延续性动词。

除了用上面的转化形式之外，还可以用其他的表达形式：

A. It is/ has been+时间+since……（动词用过去式）

B. 主语+谓语（过去时）+时间+ago。例如：

It’s five days since I received his letter.His father died three years ago.

看一个句子可以用以下几种说法：他离开上海已经3天了。

He left Shanghai three days ago.

He has been away from Shanghai for three days.

He has been away from Shanghai since three days ago.

It is/ has been three days since he left Shanghai.

Three days has passed since he left Shanghai.

几点注意事项:（1）have been(to) have gone( to) have been in的区别：

have been(to)表示“去过某地（现在已经回来了）”，可用于各人称；

have gone(to)表示“去某地了（说话时某人不在当地）”，可能在去的路上，可能已在某地，也可能在回来的路上，总之，人不在这里。常用第三人称作主语。前者可与once ,never, several times等连用，后者则不能。

He has gone to Amercia.（他到美国去了。他不在这里）

He has been to Amercia.（他去过美国。现已回来）

He has been in Shanghai.（他在上海呆过。现在不在上海）

He has been in shanghai for years.（他在上海多年。现在还在上海）

He has taught English.（他教过英语现在不教了）

He has taught English for years.（他教英语多年了。现在还在教）

（2）如单纯表示一段时间，或强调一段时间，虽有since一词，也不必用完成时。

如：It is two years since his father died.=His father has been dead for two years.

（3）终止性动词现在完成时的否定式，已变成一种可以延续的状态，因此可以和表示一段时间的状语连用。如：I haven't left here since 1997.

a rrive→be here begin(start)→be on die →be dead come back→be back

go—be away come—be here l eave →be away (from) / （be not here） buy—have

fall ill(sick, asleep)→be ill(sick, asleep)open →be open borrow—keep become—be

get up→be up go out →be out fi nish →be over put on →wear 或be on

open →be open join →be in或be a member of…mov e to → live in finish/end → be over

clo se →be closed go to school→be a student come to → be in sit down → be seated

catch(a cold)→ have(a cold)get to know →know begin to study→study lose——be lost等
