非延续性动词也叫瞬间动词或终止性动词，它所表示的动作一经发生立即完结，不再延续。常见的这类动词有：come、go、leave、open、close、begin、start、finish、stop、buy、borrow、join、die等。同学们在使用这类动词时容易出错，正确使用这类动词应注意以下几点：
　　一、非延续性动词不能与how long引导的疑问句连用
　　例如：
　　不能说：How long have you joined Greener China?
　　应该说：How long have you been a member of Greener China? (或把a member of改成in)
　　二、非延续性动词不能与for或since引导的表示一段时间的状语连用
　　（注：for接表一段时间的词，如：for three years，for a long time。since接时间点或从句，如：since three years ago，since last year。）
　　例如：
　　不能说：He has bought the computer for two months.
　　应该说：He has had the computer for two months.
　　或者说：He bought the computer two months ago.
　　但非延续性动词在完成时态中的否定式可以接一段时间。如：
　　I haven’t bought anything for two months.
　　三、非延续性动词与until引导的时间状语（或从句）连用时，只能用否定形式，不能用肯定形式
　　例如：
　　He didn’t go to bed until ten o’clock last night. 昨天晚上，他直到10点才上床睡觉。
　　I knew nothing about it until you told me. 直到你告诉我，我才知道这件事。
　　四、非延续性动词不用于进行时态，若是进行时态形式应译成将来时态的意思
　　例如：
　　I’m leaving for Nanchang. 我要出发去南昌。
　　五、初中阶段常见的非延续性动词表示延续性状态时的转换
