48. Stative vs. Active Verbs Stative is a fancy word for NONACTIVE. Verbs can express ACTIONS (run, jump, sing) Verbs can also express STATES OF BEING or CONDITIONS. We use stative verbs a lot in the simple present. You DO NOT want to use stative verbs in the present continuous.

49. Common Stative Verbs: P. 17 It’s probably a stative verb if it: - describes or measures something - expresses possession or a relationship - expresses knowledge and beliefs - describes emotions or attitudes - describes senses and sensations

50. The BAD news: You need to take the time to memorize the list of stative verbs on p. 17. Knowing those common stative verbs will help your grammar grade AND improve your writing skills.

51. Exceptions to the Rule: SOMETIMES verbs with stative meanings ALSO have active meanings. If you are talking about the ACTIVE meaning of the word, then you CAN use that word in present continuous.

52. Examples: I THINK the pie is delicious. (think = a belief) We’re THINKING about moving (think = mental activity) It weighs a lot. (weighs = measurement) I’m weighing it on the scale. (weigh = physical activity)

53. Have (has) When have = possess then it expresses a STATE and can only be used in simple present. When have = experience, eat, or drink, then it is expressing an ACTIVITY and can be used in present continuous.

54. Examples: Peter has two cars. (has = possess = stative) We have a computer at home. (have = possess = stative) We are having turkey for dinner. (have = eating = active) Are you having any problems? (have = experience = active)

55. Senses Sense verbs (see, hear, smell, taste) can be stative or active. If it’s expressing an UNCONTROLLED state, then it is stative, and you use simple present. If it’s expressing a VOLUNTARY action, then it is active, and you use present continuous.

56. Examples: The garbage smells. (smell = involuntary state = stative) I’m smelling each flower to find my favorite. (smell = voluntary action = active) The turkey tastes bland. (taste = involuntary state = stative) I’m tasting the gravy now. (taste = voluntary action = active)

57. Physical Sensations Verbs that express physical sensations can occur in BOTH the simple present and present continuous WITHOUT the meaning changing. Physical sensation = how you feel (sick, well, hurt)

58. Examples: My stomach hurts and I feel sick. (stative verb in simple present) VS. My stomach is hurting and I’m feeling sick. (active verb in present continuous)

59. Be + Adjective = A Behavior as a Verb Adjectives can describe behaviors. To express TYPICAL behaviors (typical = routine) use be + adjective to form a simple present verb. My kids are good. My dogs are silly. She is rude.

60. Be + Adjective = Behavior as a Verb If the behavior is NOT typical OR is temporary, use be + adjective + -ing ending to form a present continuous verb. My kids are being bad today. My dogs are being goofy today. She is being rude today.
