[subj] [verb] 個 不停／沒完
觸 · Trigger
I want to say the action just kept going and going without stopping.
序 · The move
1Take the activity verb that won't quit (跳, 講, 哭, 笑, 下 rain).Is it an action that can run on, not a one-shot event?
2Drop 個 right behind it, then the tail: 不停 or 沒完.Did I leave 個 bare? It must be 個 + 不停／沒完, never 個 alone.
3Pick the tail by what won't close — 不停 for motion that won't halt, 沒完 for talk/business that won't wrap up.Could a definite measured object fit after 個? If yes I am using the measure word, not this pattern.
例 · Examples
1他很喜歡like跳舞dance，每次聽到hear音樂music就then跳個不停dance nonstop。他對旅遊travel很有興趣interest，每次一講once (he) starts talking都講個沒完talk on with no end。
He loves to dance — every time he hears music he can't stop dancing. He's keen on travel — once he gets going he talks on and on with no end.
V起來 marks the action starting up or rising; V個不停 marks it continuing without end. One opens the action, the other refuses to shut it.
✗ 他跳不停。 → ✓ 他跳個不停。 (個 must sit between the verb and 不停／沒完.)
✗ 他講個。 → ✓ 他講個沒完。 (個 cannot stand bare; the won't-close tail is obligatory.)
✗ 他跳個一個不停。 → ✓ 他跳個不停。 (no number or noun — 個 here counts nothing.)
English keep on V-ing or V nonstop puts the never-stop idea in a separate word; learners drop 個 and say 跳不停, or read 個 as its measure-word self and try to attach a number to it.
