Abstract:
Time property is the most important feature of verbs, the action that verbs express is always accompanied by the process of time. in a single verb sentence, the time relation is fairly simple, it is necessary to show the position in the time line for this action. But the time relations of each verb in a verb serail construction are complex. For example, we can divide serial vert construction into three parts: temporal svc, same time svc and one kind svc that has no time relation. This article reveals how to achieve this kind temporal relation mainly through such three layers: time structure, situation type and viewpoint aspect.
