💢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.

🖍Agree 🖍Appear
🖍Believe 🖍Belong
🖍Concern 🖍Consist
🖍Contain 🖍Depend
🖍Deserve 🖍Disagree
🖍Dislike 🖍Doubt

#Shortstory
👉 A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised. That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.
👉 Moral of the story :
If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you will always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent. This is Applicable for any Relationship like love , friendship, employer – employee relationship etc.
👉 Give your 100% to everything you do and sleep peacefully
