okay next let's go to question two uh so here from vasil please forgive me if i
mispronounce your names guys um could you tell me about some stative verbs used in the continuous
form understand like hope consider wish think and so on could you build up more on this topic
thank you from the bottom of my heart of course and i would love to answer this question
so let's talk about stative verbs what does that mean and we'll look at them in the continuous form
this is a very good and kind of higher level grammar question so stay tuned guys for the answer
first let's look at the two kinds of verbs we have dynamic verbs and stative verbs so a dynamic verb
describes things that happen within a limited time that have a clearer beginning and a clear end and
these are verbs we can use in the simple form the perfect forms like present perfect past perfect
and the continuous or progressive forms so these are all things that again clear beginning
clear end and happen in a limited time for example eat walk and learn
the other kind and these are verbs that we're very used to and they follow all the normal rules
but then we have something called stative verbs so these usually have to do with the state or
condition which is unchanging usually a state of being so often these have to do
with our thinking or things about thinking and our minds or relationships between things so these
really stative have to do with a state of being okay so we'll write that there so these include
things like believe and think meaning have an opinion like i think or disagree so these are
states and verbs of relation so let's take a look we cannot use stative verbs in the same way so
right this question is about the continuous forms let's give it a look so here's an example using
a dynamic verb and remember dynamic verbs are normal right we can use all of these tenses simple
right a simple present simple past and simple future i run i ran i will run
continuous forms i am running i was running i will be running
perfect forms uh present past and future i have run i had run or i will have run and perfect
continuous i have been running i had been running i will have been running so all of these we can
use with dynamic verbs again like eat walk and play for example but stative verbs are a little
different and remember these have to do with a state of being things about our mind words like
think and know and believe uh so let's take a look at this state of verb no so here we can use simple
and perfect tenses and these sentences are all correct i know i knew i will know i have known i
had known i will have known but we cannot use the continuous tenses with this verb i am knowing no
i have been knowing no so we cannot use them in quite the same way so here
uh we have a in another example so we've seen dynamic verbs in their correct forms stated verbs
they're correct forms and that we can't use them with the continuous forms
and now we see a verb that kind of we can use in a few different ways has a few different meanings
so have here we can use the simple form for possession means it's mine i own it i have a car
i had a car i will have a car in the continuous form we can we we can use the continuous form
to describe an activity like having a good time this is kind of a phrasal verb have a good time
that is always together it's a it's a phrasal verb so we can say i am having a good time i was having
a good time i will be having a good time but we cannot use the continuous form for possession have
right i have a car we do not say i am having a car right it's just i have or i don't have
okay so let's take a look um this is one of those situations in english where really this comes from
practice and uh really being familiar just like in a previous lesson we talked about past participles
like i have known i have seen i have walked some of those irregular ones there's no easy
way to remember them it's just practice so let's take a look at some little tips for which verbs
are always stative which ones are always dynamic and so on so here verbs that are always stative
have to do with mental states mental means your mind okay and emotional states how you
feel so this includes let's start with mental states words like admire doubt want no and need
uh so there can be some common errors with these like uh remember with stative we cannot use
the continuous forms which is ing right progressive forms so i do not say i am knowing
or i am needing or i am understanding these are some common mistakes we can just use their
simple and perfect forms like i know john we need some help and i don't understand what you mean
next let's look at emotional states words that we use often like love like hate and care
so again we don't usually say something like i'm loving or uh
i'm hating here we might say something like remember the we don't use the continuous forms
just simple and perfect the kids love she likes and i hate okay a couple more
that are always stative means no continuous form have to do with possession which means you
own something it's yours or mine right senses like the word here and then we have some others
uh so these are the verbs that we see that we do not use in the continuous forms and it would be
grammatically incorrect to do so so uh as always guys this powerpoint this ppt is posted so you can
go and use this as a resource here we have some more oh my gosh some that depend on the situation
so again we see that this can be pretty uh complicated and difficult but let's look at these
four verbs uh that that are that we have examples for so here they could be stative which means
not continuous forms or dynamic which is a normal verb like run that we can use in all of the forms
and it depends on the situation or the meaning so let's look at think
if i'm saying i think and i'm about to you talk about my opinion this is a stative verb which
means not no continuous forms right so if i'm asking for your opinion like what do you think
well this is stative asking about your opinion or i think you should accept that job offer that
is correct i cannot say i am thinking you should we would say this would be grammatically correct
i think you should now the dynamic verb is the act of thinking what are you thinking
about right this is the action not opinion right not a noun my opinion is but the act of thinking
what are you thinking about i'm thinking about what to do next so here the active thinking
we also have this with have the stative verb refers to possession i have a car i have a
phone and the dynamic refers to an activity which we saw in a previous example i'm having
a party we're having a great time right that those are activities oh sorry guys my allergies
itchy nose uh so we also have this let's look at two more verbs taste and the be verb if
we're talking about this state of being or a quality using taste taste as a equality
it tastes delicious this is stative i would not say it is tasting delicious it tastes delicious
and if it's an activity she is tasting the soup right so here we can see uh in these a theme a
quality a thing a state of being a possession or a relation these are stative activities activities
activities are dynamic and last let's look at the be verb they are they are being so they are refers
to a general condition or state right it's a state so it's stative they are helpful i wouldn't
say they are being helpful no matter what happens they are helpful it's equality condition or state
they are being is a temporary so not forever temporary state they are being helpful under
the circumstances they are being helpful for now at this moment so again this is all on the ppt you
guys i really encourage you to look this over and this is something we may talk about in the future
