πŸ’’Stative verbs

⭐️Some verbs are only (or mostly) used in simple tenses, and are not used in continuous tenses.

An example of a simple tense is the present simple, or the past simple.
An example of a continuous tense is the present continuous or past continuous.

These verbs are called stative, or state verbs.
A verb which isn’t stative is called a dynamic verb, and is usually an action.
Often stative verbs are about liking or disliking something, or about a mental state, not about an action.

🌸Examples of stative verbs

πŸ–Agree πŸ–Appear
πŸ–Believe πŸ–Belong
πŸ–Concern πŸ–Consist
πŸ–Contain πŸ–Depend
πŸ–Deserve πŸ–Disagree
