当一个动词描述一个状态、一个动作,我们不用进行时态。例如,“play'is行动,所以我们可以说'打'而'是一个固定的状态不会改变:“是,或不是”。
在语法上是不正确的说‘I’m loving it’ even though McDonalds have made this expression famous. 。“爱”是一个静态动词,所以我们应该说‘I love it.’
状态动词
情感类: love, hate, want,
need状态类: have, own, belong
感觉类: see, hear, smell, seem
思想类: know, believe, remember

特例
有些词可以是
状态动词也可以是
行为动词。这些动词的意思是不同的。看看这些:
'I have a car.’ – state verb showing possession
'I am having a bath.’ – action verb which, in this case, means ‘taking’.
‘I think you are cool.’ – state verb meaning ‘in my opinion’.
‘I am thinking about buying a motorbike.’ – action verb meaning ‘considering’
一般来说,静态动词是不能用于
现在进行时的,因为他们不是一个持续的动作,但是当现在进行时与频度副词 always,constantly,
continually,forever等连用时,此时静态动词也是可以有进行时态的,因为此时表示的是带有一定
感情色彩的,如令人不满、厌烦或关心、赞叹的事。
例:
You're always seeing something strange.
I'm continually forgetting people's name.
How are you feeling today?
