The terminating or non-terminating feature of events is formed under the interaction between verbs and other complements. Conversely, the terminating or non-terminating feature has a decisive effect on the form of a sentence structure, therefore the syntactic and semantic feature of each complement or the combination between them must correspond with the terminating or non-terminating feature of events. Otherwise the sentences will not make sense. Based on this viewpoint, this paper studied the time-quantity sentences from the aspects of structure forms, the features of verbs and objects and aspect particle “Le”, etc. Conclusions are as follows. In structure of “V+O+C”, both persist verbs and non-persist verbs can be used, and sentences indicate atelic events. Therefore “Le” cannot be used after verbs or objects. But in structure of “V+C+O”, quantity complements appear after verbs, and it marks that the event is durative, so objects appear at the end of sentence to determinate the event. In addition, quantity complements can not come before objects in expressing the telicity of events because of the exclusiveness principle.
