Dynamic verbs

Dynamic verbs describe actions we can take, or things that happen.

• We can use dynamic verbs in the simple tenses and in the    continuous tenses.
• Dynamic verbs: eat, drink, go, type, read, write

Stative verbs

Stative verbs usually refer to a state or condition which is not changing or likely to change.

• We can not use stative verbs in the continuous tenses.

       "I am hating my little brother right now"
