This document discusses the difference between stative and action/dynamic verbs. Stative verbs describe a state or condition, while action verbs describe an action that can change. Stative verbs cannot be used in continuous tenses because they describe a constant or long-lasting state rather than a process. However, some stative verbs can become dynamic verbs when used in continuous tenses, changing their overall meaning. Examples are provided to illustrate how the meaning changes depending on whether a verb is used statively or dynamically.

stative verbs merupakan verbs yang menyatakan keadaan/situasi/kondisi, sedangkan action /dynamic verbs merupakan verbs penjelas aksi yang bisa berubah-ubah. Stative verbs merupakan jenis verbs yang tidak bisa digunakan dalam semua continuous tense. Kenapa? Karena biasanya verbs ini digunakan untuk mendeskripsikan suatu kondisi tetap (statis) atau yang berlangsung dalam jangka waktu yang cukup lama, sedangkan continuous tenses merupakan susunan kalimat yang menunjukan adanya proses. Hampir semua verbs yang kita ketahui merupakan dynamic /action verbs. Lalu apa sajakah yang masuk sebagai stative verbs? Meskipun begitu, tidak semua stative verbs tidak bisa menjadi dynamic verbs. Beberapa stative verbs bisa berubah menjadi verb- ing yang digunakan dalam continuous tense. Akan tetapi maknanya jadi berubah secara keseluruhan. Perhatikan contoh dibawah ini:
1. I think we need to take a rest. (stative) >> have an opinion
2. I am thinking of getting a new bike next week. (dynamic). >>>> consider, have in my head what are you thinking of? 1. You are annoying. (stative).>> it's part of your personality 2. You are being annoying. (stative) >>> only now, not usually Some verbs can be both stative and dynamic: Be be is usually a stative verb, but when it is used in the continuous it means 'behaving' or 'acting' you are stupid = it's part of your personality you are being stupid = only now, not usually Think think (stative) = have an opinion I think that coffee is great think (dynamic) = consider, have in my head what are you thinking about? I'm thinking about my next holiday Have have (stative) = own I have a car have (dynamic) = part of an expression I'm having a party / a picnic / a bath / a good time / a break Some verbs can be both stative and dynamic: See see (stative) = see with your eyes / understand I see what you mean I see her now, she's just coming along the road see (dynamic) = meet / have a relationship with I've been seeing my boyfriend for three years I'm seeing Robert tomorrow Taste taste (stative) = has a certain taste This soup tastes great The coffee tastes really bitter taste (dynamic) = the action of tasting The chef is tasting the soup
