You can use state and dynamic verbs correctly. 

Discuss these Q's with a neigbor:

1: What's the difference between a stative and dynamic verb? 

2: Give two example sentences: one with state & one with dynamic.

Verbs in English can be classified into two categories: stative verbs and dynamic verbs. Dynamic verbs (sometimes referred to as "action verbs") usually describe actions we can take, or things that happen; stative verbs usually refer to a state or condition which is not changing or likely to change.

Let's play a quick game

Notice the difference between the verbs (S + D)

State verbs

Dynamic verbs

State verbs are words that describe states (nothing happens). 

I believe the tempature is 20 degrees. 

I think I have the best students in the world.

Dynamic verbs are words that describe actions (something happens)

I am working tonight.

Emily cooks dinner every day

Ms. Wildeman takes the train to work.

State verbs

Dynamic verbs

Nothing happens = Present Simple

I like to read books. 

Remember that one time we went on vacation.

Something happens = Present Simple or Continious

She is being silly right now. 

Tadiwa always takes photos.

Some Verbs can be both stative and dynamic.

I think about moving to Spain

I am thinking about it right now
