hello welcome to easy English at home YouTube channel today i'm gonna teach
you non progressive verbs non progressive verbs they are also called
stative verbs they describe opinions possession emotions states or qualities
and senses not actions that's why non progressive verbs never
go with an ING form I will give you more examples through this chart have a look
when you want to talk about your opinion you can use verbs like no believe
understand prefer agree and many more you say I know you or you say I don't
believe you right never with an ING and when you want to
talk about possession you say I have a car or you say I own a restaurant or you
can say this does not belong to me right never with an ING next one the ones that
refer to emotions love hate need one and like you can say I love you we never say
I am loving you yeah I love you or I hate you or you can say I need you right
when you want to refer to state and quality you can use verbs like they
contain depend on involve and desserts you can say do you deserve this or you
don't deserve this or another one way how much do your way would be a good
example you cannot say how much are you weighing that's wrong how much do you
weigh okay senses is the last group we are looking at you can use the verb here
seem appear smell and resemble to look like someone in
family right right you can say oh I hear something you cannot say I am hearing
something I hear something or we can say this smells great
what's this food right with no ing again so this chart is a good brief summary of
non progressive verbs look at the examples one more time I said I know you
and I have a good job what about you I love you we mentioned it depends on you
it depends on your decision or you can say I understand that's okay let's
practice with pictures look at the pictures and use the keywords to make
complete sentences picture one she prefers pink to black yes she prefers
pink to park picture two they don't they agree with me they don't agree with me
picture three he is a shoemaker he owns a small shop he owns a small shop
picture for I possess magical powers I possess picture five they have just
voted so they own a house now they own a house now picture six he loves her yes
he loves her picture seven she needs to hurry up she needs to hurry up
yes picture eight this food contains a lot of fat and calories this food
contains a lot of fat and calories picture nine he worked really hard he
deserves a good holiday he deserves a good holiday yes
picture 10 he seems tired he seems tired are you ready
for the final practice please read the sentences and choose the correct form
with me number one I am understanding or I understand which one of course I
understand it's a non progressive verb I understand
yes number two I'm not understanding or I don't understand which one I don't
understand of course and number three we have I
don't believe it when you're surprised I don't believe it or I'm not believing it
it's a non progressive verb so you cannot use it with an ING form yes I
don't believe it number four I'm loving burgers or I love
burgers here we have emotions and another non progressive verb I love
burgers this is apparently wrong next one are you hearing me or you say do you
hear me yes senses here do you hear me is the
correct one and number six these boxes are belonging
to me or these boxes belong to me which one yes these boxes belong to me is the
correct one and the last example it smells horrible or it is smelling
horrible yes it smells horrible of course it's another verb of senses
good job everybody let's have a look at today's key words and phrases we have
learned that non progressive verbs describe status or quality of something
not in action that's why we cannot use them
than ing ending for example it's good to say I prefer dark colors you cannot say
I'm preferring dark colors no that's wrong
or you can say I need a new jacket you cannot say I am needing a new jacket
that's wrong we also learned that we can group them under five headings we have
non progressive verbs of opinion and perception
for example understand believe and so on we also have verbs of possession like
have own possess and verbs of emotion like love and hate verbs of state and
qualities contain they deserve and so on the last group is for senses we have
verbs like same smell resemble and so on
