State and activity verbs

Now , I know the answer. What’s the tense? When is it happening?

There are two kinds of verbs in English: Activity verbs – describe activities and they can be used in simple and continuous tenses. walk , talk, eat, drink… State verbs – describe states and can only be used in simple tenses. They can’t be used in continuous tenses. hate, understand, want…

State verbs: Verbs related to activities of the mind: admit, agree, believe, know, mean, prefer, realise, remember, think, understand, want Verbs related to emotions: adore, care, like, dislike, love, hate, hope Having or being: appear, be, belong, contain, have, include, need, seem, possess, own Verbs related to senses: feel, hear, look, see, smell, sound, taste…

We have a second-hand car. (have = possess > state) Some state verbs can also refer to an activity. In this meaning they can be used in a continuous tense. HAVE We have a second-hand car. (have = possess > state) We are having some tea. (have = drink > activity) THINK I think it’s a great idea. (think = believe > state) I’m thinking about my exam. (think = consider > activity)

Verbs related to senses are followed by adjectives, not adverbs. The coffee smells great. You look nice. That soup tastes awful. Their new song sounds fantastic.
