英语动词根据词义可分为两种，一种是延续性的，一种是终止性的，终止性
动词(也可称为非延续性动词、瞬间动词、或点动词)，如begin, start, die, buy, leave, come等，表示动作的发生与结束于一瞬间完成，不能再延续，所以它的现在完成时不能和表示延续的时间状语连用，即不能与表示一段时间的状语，for+时间段, since+时间点/从句连用，也不能用在how long引导的特殊疑问句中。
• ×)
• √).
• I left Shanghai three days ago. (√)
• It is /has been three days since I left Shanghai.(√)
• 终止性动词要表示持续时，可用以下方法：
⑴ 将时间状语改为时间段 + ago，句中谓语动词用一般过去时。
• ago. 我弟弟参军两年了。
⑵ 若保留for+时间段，since+时间点/从句，或用在 how long句型中，则需将终止性动词改为相应的状态动词或延续性动词。
• 常见终止性动词与延续性动词(或状态动词)的对应关系如下：
• open-----be open die------be dead close----be closed
become---be
• borrow---keep begin/start-----be on put on----wear • leave-----be away (from) buy-----have sleep /fall
asleep----be asleep
• end/finish-----be over catch a cold-----have a cold come back—be
back get up---be up

1. The manager left two hours ago.
The manager _____ ____ ____ for two hours.
分析：答案为has been away。leave为非延续性动词，不能与for two hours这样的一段时间连用，而改成be away这样的延续性动词后，则可连用一段时间。
2. The film began five minutes ago.
The film has been _____ _____ five minutes.
分析：答案为on for。has been提示时态是现在完成时态，“for+时间段”表示“持续（一段时间）”，常用在含有现在完成时态的句子里。
3. Mr Li joined the Party twenty years ago.
Mr Li _____ _____ _____ the Party for twenty years.
答案：has been in。短暂动词join，意为“参加、加入（组织，政党）”，不能与延续时间状语连用，与延续性时间状语连用时，将join改成be in或be a member in…。
一时找不到相应的状态动词怎么办
如果一时找不到相应的动词或动词短语我们可用“It is ＋一段时间＋since从句（用一般过去时）”或“一段时间＋has passed＋since从句（用一般过去时）”这样的结构来表示，这样原来的终止性动词就可以保留下来。
如：It is four months since my elder sister went to Britain. （我姐姐去英国已有四个月了。）
More than three years has passed since Mary came to China. （玛丽来中国已有三年多了。）
在上面两个句子中，我们既保留了终止性动词go与come,又表达出four months与more than three years这样的延续性时间状语的含义。
