Do you mean in the ordinary senses of the words, or are you referring by chance to the technical terms in Vendler's event classes: states, activities, accomplishments, and achievements?

Live and learn! In that case:
Accomplishments
Accomplishment predicates also involve change, but they present the events they refer to as bounded in time. They can be decomposed into two endpoints (the beginning and the culmination of the event) and a process part. Examples of accomplishment predicates are "build a house", "run to the store".
