Stative Verbs

Verbs describing a permanent state (stative verbs) do not normally have continuous forms. These are:

Verbs of the senses: see, hear, smell, feel, taste… (We often use can or could with these verbs. e.g. Can you see that boy over there?) The verbs look, watch and listen express deliberate actions and can be used in continuous forms. E.g. Be quiet please! I’m listening to the news. But: I can’t hear you. Can you speak louder, please? The verbs feel and hurt can be used in either continuous or simple forms, though. e.g. A: How are you feeling today? or How do you feel today? B: My leg is hurting. or My leg hurts.

Verbs of opinion: agree, believe, consider, etc. Verbs of emotions: feel, forgive, hate, like, love, etc. Other verbs: appear (= seem), be, belong, fit (= be the right shape and size for sth),

have (= possess), know, look (= appear), need, prefer, require, want, weigh, wish, etc.

Some stative verbs (see, smell, taste, feel, think, have, etc.) have continuous forms

but there is a difference in meaning.


CLASE


Conceptualización

Simple present and present continuous

The simple present says that something was true in the past, is true in the present, and it will be true in the future. It expresses general statements of facts and timeless

truths.

The present continuous expresses an activity that is in progress at the moment of speaking. It is a temporary that began in the past, is continuing at present, and will

probably end at some point in the future.

Read the following sentences and correct the errors:

1. I DO am not agree with your opinion. 2. I´m not knowing Sam´s wife. 3. What are you talking about? I talk about the political situation in my country.

4. My roommate usually watch television, listen to music, or going out in the evening.

5. Right now Sally in the kitchen eating breakfast.

As you can see there are some verbs that cannot be used in the present continuous.
