    Active verbs describe actions and can be used with continuous forms to talk about activities in progress, while state verbs connect with knowledge, emotion, or possession and describe states rather than actions, so they cannot be used with continuous forms. Some common state verbs include believe, know, like, love, hate, want, need, understand, agree, disagree, remember, and own.
