Definition
开进 is a resultative verb compound (结果动词) made from 开 'drive/operate a vehicle' and 进 'enter'. It means to drive, sail, or move a vehicle into a place. Unlike separable verbs, 开进 typically stays together with a direct object after it (开进车站, 开进港口). You can negate it with 没 as a single word: 没开进. The focus is on the movement of the vehicle entering a specific location.
