State Verbs. Non-action verbs

State or Stative Verbs. Stative verbs describe a state rather than an action. They aren't usually used in any of the continuous forms. I don't know the answer. I'm not knowing the answer. She really likes you. She's really liking you. He seems happy at the moment. He's seeming happy at the moment.

Stative verbs often relate to: Thoughts and opinions:  agree, believe, doubt, guess, imagine, know,  mean, recognise, remember, suspect, think, understand. Feelings and emotions:  dislike, hate, like, love, prefer, want, wish. Senses and perceptions:  appear, be, feel, hear, look, see, seem, smell, taste. Possession and measurement:  belong, have,  own, possess, measure,  weigh. Other verbs like this include: agree, appear, doubt, feel, guess, hear, imagine, look, measure, remember, smell, weigh, wish

Verbs that are sometimes stative. A number of verbs can refer to states or actions, depending on the context. I think it's a good idea. Wait a moment! I'm thinking. The first sentence expresses an opinion. It is a mental state, so we use present simple. In the second example the speaker is actively processing thoughts about something. It is an action in progress, so we use present continuous.

Verbs that are sometimes stativehave I have an old car. (state – possession)I'm having a quick break. (action – having a break is an activity)see Do you see any problems with that? (state – opinion)We're seeing off Mr Smith at the station tomorrow afternoon . (action – we're meeting him)

Verbs that are sometimes stativetaste This coffee tastes delicious. (state – our perception of the coffee)Look! The chef is tasting the soup. (action – tasting the soup is an activity)be He's so interesting! (state – his permanent quality)He's being very unhelpful. (action – he is temporarily behaving this way)

Study the difference. Be be is usually a stative verb, but when it is used in the continuous it means 'behaving' or 'acting‘ you are stupid = it's part of your personality you are being stupid = only now, not usually. Think think (stative) = have an opinion. I think that coffee is great think (dynamic) = consider, have in my headwhat are you thinking about? I'm thinking about my next holiday. Have have (stative) = own. I have a car have (dynamic) = part of an expression. I'm having a party / a picnic / a bath / a good time / a break. See see (stative) = see with your eyes / understand. I see what you mean. I see her now, she's just coming along the road see (dynamic) = meet / have a relationship with. I've been seeing my boyfriend for three years. Taste taste (stative) = has a certain taste. This soup tastes great. The coffee tastes really bitter taste (dynamic) = the action of tasting. The chef is tasting the soup('taste' is the same as other similar verbs such as 'smell')

Study the difference. I feel sick. (This is a state verb that means 'I am sick / I think I am sick.' There is no action here). I am feeling the top of the desk. (This is an action verb that means 'I am using my hands to touch the desk to see how it feels.' This is an action.)This smells bad. (= State verb that means 'this has a bad smell '-- there is no action here.)I am smelling the flower. (= Action verb that means 'I am sucking in air through my nose to get the smell of the flower.')This tastes salty. (= State verb that means 'it has a salty taste.')I am tasting the strawberry. (= Action verb that means 'I am using my mouth and tongue to learn how something tastes.')

Study the difference. The verb think has a state meaning and an action meaning as well. Let's look at two examples. I think blue is a nice color. (State verb: I believe blue is nice / In my opinion, blue is nice.)I am thinking of the answer. (Action verb: I am using my brain to try to find the answer.)So, think is a state verb when we use it to give an opinion, but it is an action verb when we describe our brain in action. There are a few other exceptions as well, such as idioms with the verb have. When have means to possess something, e.g. I have a pen, we can never use the verb in an ~ing (progressive form). But there are some idioms with have that are actions. For example: She's having a baby. (to have a baby = to give birth)I'm having a party/picnic tomorrow. (to have a party/picnic = to host a party/picnic)We're having trouble. (to have trouble = to do something with difficulty)I'm having fun / I'm having a good time.. (to have fun / have a good time= to enjoy yourself)

Stative Verbs. Some verbs are not usually used in their continuous forms, i.e. in present continuous, past continuous , perfect continuous etc. They are called stative verbs. The most common stative verbs are:{5 C22544 A-7 EE6-4342-B048-85 BDC9 FD1 C3 A}Love hatelikewantwishpreferbelieveimaginedoubtunderstandmean rememberforget needappearseem.
