State verbs
Stative verbs do NOT refer to a physical action; they express a state or condition (permanent things; things that don't have a beginning or end). Some examples of stative verbs are: like, love, believe, know, understand, have (when it means to own), prefer, hate.
I don't understand you - state of mind (no beginning or end)
This book belongs to me - possession (permanent things)

In English grammar, a dynamic verb is a verb used primarily to indicate an action, process, or sensation as opposed to a state.

I am doing my homework right now - action

*Can be in present simple and present continuous
