Part 1: static vs dynamic verbs

What is the difference? (1. I think coffee is great./ 2. I'm thinking about my next holiday.)

What do YOU think is the difference between dynamic and state verbs?

State verbs

- used in the present simple EVEN if it's happening right now:

I understand this.

- can be used in the continuous - BUT it changes to dynamic!

-e.g. think, have, look:

Do I look good in this dress? = state
What are you looking at? = dynamic

Stative / state verbs include:

Attitude verbs = feelings, emotions, preferences

--> like, hate, love, prefer

Mental / thinking verbs

--> believe, know, need, understand, want, remember, think

Senses --> hear, feel, see...

what?

dynamic = actief werkwoord = beschrijft een handeling

state = statief werkwoord = beschrijft een toestand of situatie

Look at the sentence: I work as a fashion editor. Is the verb dynamic or stative?

1. Dynamic
2. Stative

True or false? A stative verb is never a continuous form

1. True
2. False

1. Yes, I can!
2. For the most part, need to practice a bit more.

Part 2: present perfect tenses

What is the difference? (1. I have read the book / 2. I've been reading the book)

The difference:

1. I have read the book you recommended, and I think it's great!

--> You have definitely finished the book.

2. I have been reading the book you recommended, but I don't know if I like it yet. 

--> You have not finished the book.

Present perfect simple:

We're interested in the result of the activity, not in the activity itself:

Examples:

1. I have read the book. I didn't think it was very good.

2. She has painted her door. It looks great now!

3. Someone has eaten all the chocolates. The box is empty...

Present perfect continuous:

We're interested in the activity (which may be finished, or not - we don't really care):

1. Why are your clothes and hands so dirty? -- Oh, I've been painting my door.

2. Quinn has been eating too much chocolate. He's feeling sick now.

Present perfect simple:

We use it to say how much, how many or how many times we've done something:

1. They've played tennis three times this week.

2. How much homework have you finished so far?

3. Lisa has written ten emails today.

Present perfect continuous:

We use it to say how long we've been doing something:

1. They've been playing tennis for hours now!

2. How long have you been doing your homework? You look tired.

3. Lisa is still writing emails. She's been writing emails all day.

Now it's time for some practice questions:

Look! Somebody ...... that window.

1. has broken
2. has been breaking

You meet someone who is a writer. You ask:

1. How long have you been writing books?
2. How long have you written books?

2. haven't taken many lessons

You're out of breath. .............?

I literally have no idea what you were just talking about!
