Stative Verbs 

How to use stative(state) or dynamic verbs 

•  See a complete list of stative verbs with lot of examples here.
• Try an exercise on Stative Verbs here.  

      Some English verbs, which we call state, non-continuous or stative verbs,     aren't used in continuous tenses (like the present continuous, or the future continuous). These verbs often describe states that last for some time. 

                               Some verbs are only (or mostly) used in simple tenses, and are not used in continuous tenses. An example of a simple tense is the present simple, or the past simple. An example of a continuous tense is the present continuous or past continuous. These verbs are called stative, or state verbs. A verb which isn’t stative is called a dynamic verb, and is usually an action. Often stative verbs are about liking or disliking something, or about a mental state, not about an action.
