Question

初三英语

when we got there， the movie had begun for almost twenty minutes。

这句话哪里错了，为什么？请详析

Answer 1

begin和start是瞬间动词，不能与表示延续状态的介系词for或since连用表示持续状态，又如：
My father has been dead for ten years. （不能说has died或has passed away）
He has been away for ten minutes. （不能说has left）
The file has been open for ten minutes. （不能说I have opened up the file for ten minutes.）
He has had the car for one year. （不能用has bought）
I have been up for ten hours. （不能说have gotten up）
I have learned English for more than ten years. （不能说have started to learn English）
Mom has been married to Dad for a decade. （不能说Mom has married Dad for a decade.）
希望我能帮助你解疑释惑。

Answer 2

把begun改成been on
理由 begun是瞬间动作，用表示延续状态的for短语搭配不合适

供参考。

Answer 3

begin为非延续性动词，一但开始就处于进行状态，此题可改为：
When we got there， the movie had been on for almost twenty minutes.或
When we got there， the movie had begun almost twenty minutes before.

Answer 4

begin 是非延续动词，开始就一下子一个动作 如果是20分钟的话 要用延续性的动词或者表示状态的Be动词。可以改为had been on
希望帮到你

Answer 5

had begun 应该为had been on

Answer 6

begin 是点动词，不能连用时间段 for almost twenty minutes.
