Steve is exercising because he wants to lose weight. Ex. Maria is buying a CD because she likes music. Although both actions and states exist at the moment of speaking, only the action verbs are used in the present progressive. Simple present- Non-action verbs Use the simple present with most non-action verbs. Non-action verbs usually describe states or situations, but not actions. We use them to: a. express emotions (love, hate, like, want, feel, fear, trust) We like Claude a lot. We love his sense of humor. I want to study Italian. Simple present- non-action verbs b. describe mental states (know, remember, believe, think, understand) I know a lot if U.S. customs now. Ari remembers your number. She thinks the class is cancelled. Simple Present- non action verbs c. Show possession (have, own, possess, belong) Ex. Cesar has two brothers. Some students own cars. That water belongs to Nancy. Simple Present- non action verbs d. Describe senses and perceptions (hear, see, smell, taste, feel, notice, seem, appear, sound) Ex. I hear the telephone. Dina seems tired. Non-action verbs Do not use the present progressive- even when the verb describes a situation that exists at the moment of speaking. Ex. Jane is wanting to go home now. I am hearing a sound coming from the next room. How would you correct these sentences? Senses and perception (Note 5) Some verbs describe senses and perceptions, such as taste, smell, feel, and look can have both action and non-action meanings. The soup tastes good. He is tasting the soup. His car looks great. I’m looking at his car. I feel hungry. I’m feeling the sweater. What are the meanings of these sentences? Note 5 What are the meanings? The food smells nice. She is smelling the roses. Martha has a baby. Martha is having a baby. Sharon is in Florida. She has/is having a new apartment there. She has/ is having a great time. Senses and perceptions- Have and think Other verbs that have both action and non-action meaning are have and think. I have a new watch. I’m having fun. (I own a new watch) (I am experiencing fun) I think he’s right. I’m thinking of going. ( My opinion: He’s right) (I am considering going) What are the meanings of these sentences? Feel * We often use feel in the progressive form to express emotion. The meaning is the same as when we use the simple form. I feel tired. I’ m feeling tired. What are the meanings of these sentences?
