Is go a non-durative verb? I thought it was non-durative, but I find this sentence,"When my Mom was going into the dining room this morning, he dropped some coins on the floor." What's your idea?

问题补充:

"...,she dropped some coins on the floor."

What does "non-durative" mean? You might be thinking about grammar too deeply. "Go" can almost always be used in continuous verb tenses.

The sentence is wrong. Firstly, mom is a "she". The sentence was written by a non-native. As my mom was entering the kitchen, she dropped some coins. As my mom was going into the kitchen, she dropped some coins. It is not a good idea to use "go" in the durative sense, as it can be quite ambiguous.
