Action Durations

Actions usually take time and changes can happen in the environment during the happening of the action. Not only that, different actions may have different durations. Also, effects may vary depending on the duration of an action. For instance, pressing the door bell for 2 seconds may produce a sound for 2 seconds, whereas pressing the door bell for 5 seconds may produce a sound for 5 seconds.
