State and dynamic verbs

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)

*Only present simple

State and dynamic verbs

Dynamic verbs

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

I run 10 kilometres every day - you are doing something - action

I am doing my homework right now - action

*Can be in present simple and present continuous

State verbs with a dynamic meaning

Sometimes state verbs can be used with a dynamic meaning, and therefore we can use the continuous sense. 

This cheese tastes nice (feature describing the cheese) - state verb

I'm tasting cheese at the moment (action) - dynamic verb

Common state verbs + state/dynamic verbs

Common state verbs	Verbs that can be stative and dynamic
-Believe -Belong -Forget -Hate -Like -Love -Need -Prefer -Remember -Understand -Want	-Appear -Consider -Feel -Look -Think

Read and then share answers with your partner.

In your notebook, sort the blue verbs into dynamic & stative verbs

dynamic: work, ask, listen, speak, wear, (think)

state: think, believe, know, want
