hello welcome to easing resettle muta Channel
today I'm gonna teach you how to use verbs that can both be dynamic and
stative let's start today's lesson with a question which one is correct tell me
what do you think what are you thinking when should I say what do you think and
then is it good to say what are you thinking well these two questions are
both correct but the verb think can be used in two different ways it can be
status with no ing or it could be dynamic with an ING form in each case
the meaning changes how does it change let's study that so when I say what do
you think I'm actually asking the person's opinion what's your idea what
do you think and on the other hand when they say what are you thinking we are
actually asking the person his or her plan what are you planning
what are you considering yes so when the verbs have a stative or dynamic form
which means they go with an ING or no ing their meaning can change so today we
are studying other verbs that change in a similar way the first one see when I
say I see what do you mean it means I understand you I see what you mean I
understand right second example I can't see you in this photo so where are you
that's the physical movement of our eyes the act of seeing the person right I
can't see you in this photo where are you and if we use the verb see in the
dynamic form with an ING as in this example I'm seeing John tonight it means
I meeting him right so the meaning here
changes it means to me someone I'm seeing him right the second one we are
studying is has so I have a car and a bike the verb have in the state of form
means to possess right possess okay I'm having breakfast on the other hand means
I'm eating breakfast right I'm eating it so this refers to the act of eating I'm
eating sorry there's anything you see I'm eating breakfast I'm having
breakfast so I'm eating it right number three look you look gorgeous
this means you seem you appear beautiful so the meaning here is either to seem or
appear as you can see with an ING form what are you looking at so this is the
physical movement of our eyes right what are you looking at where are you looking
at okay so the meaning here is referring to a physical movement don't forget P is
the next one he's immature so he always is immature this is a permanent
situation here when you say he's being immature this refers to in a temporary
event he's not always like this but in this specific example he is being
immature right so we can say here always and here
temporary the other verb we're looking at is to feel right I feel that I've
made a mistake so here the verb feel means I think I've
made a mistake so the meaning here is to think right
how are you feeling to die this is referring to your physical experience
are you feeling any better you physical experience taste on the other
hand this tastes like chicken so I'm here referring to the quality and the
flavor of the food hmm this tastes like chicken well with an ING form I'm
tasting the soup so this means I'm trying it to see if there is an assault
maybe right so I'm tasting the soup way is the last one how much do you weigh
this is referring to the heaviness of something right heaviness how much do
you weigh 50 cages for example another one with an ing for the butcher is
weighing the meat so this refers to the act of measuring something yes so the
butcher is measuring the meat right weighing the meat are you ready to
practice look at the pictures and complete the sentences using the prompts

are you ready to practice further I have come up with six different situations
let's read them together and think of what you would say in each one number
one you have planned to meet a friend so you can say I'm seeing a friend yes so
seeing here is the same as meeting I'm seeing a friend tonight

six your brother is unusually polite and nice you want to know why
this is strange so you say why are you being so nice to me

right it's surprising to see him like that
good job everybody let's have a look at today's keywords and phrases we have
learned that some verbs can be both static and dynamic but in each case the
meaning changes number one to see I see what you mean here it means

particular direction to see something number four be he is immature so he's

checking if it's good enough number seven
