REMEMBER:

Verbs that describe states are


NOT normally used in
continuous forms.
Remember ….
Stative verbs are usually used in the simple tenses. Normally they are not used
with continuous tenses.
Stative verbs are primarily used to describe a state of being (I am) or situation
(I have). It's how something is, feels, or appears. These verbs don't show physical
action (I run) or processes (It prints). Stative verbs can describe a mental or
emotional state of being (I doubt) as well as a physical state (Kilroy was here).
