Grammar
State or Activity
Verbs
In English, verbs can be divided into
two groups: activity verbs and state
verbs. Activity verbs describe activities
and can be used in simple and
continuous tenses.
State verbs describe states and are not
usually used in continuous tenses.
Here are the most common state verbs:
Verbs related to activities of the mind:
admit, agree, believe, know, mean, prefer,
realize, remember, think, understand, want
Verbs related to emotions:
adore, care, like, dislike, love, hate, hope
Having and being:
appear, be, belong, contain, have, include, need,
seem, possess, own
Verbs related to senses:
feel, hear, look, see, smell, sound, taste
Some state verbs can also refer to an activity.
In this meaning they can be used in a
continuous tense:
We have a second-hand car.
(have =possess, a state)
She is having some tea.
(have=drink, an activity)
I think it’s a great idea.
(think= believe, a state)
I’m thinking about my exam.
(think=consider, an activity)
I feel I can’t go through with it.
(feel= believe, a state)
How are you feeling?
(feel=experience, an activity)
Verbs related to senses are
followed by adjectives, not adverbs:
• The roses look and smell beautiful.
• The cloth feels soft.
• The idea sounds wonderful.
• The oranges taste delicious.
