Remember Non-Continuous Verbs / Mixed Verbs
記住非連續動詞/混合動詞
It is important to remember that non-continuous verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses.
非連續動詞不能用于進行時态,記住這一點很重要。
Also, certain non-continuous meanings for mixed verbs cannot be used in continuous tenses.
還有,具有非連續含義的混合動詞不能用于進行時态。
Instead of using present continuous with these verbs, you must use simple present.
這些動詞必須要與一般現在時連用,而不與現在進行時連用。
