How to use stative (state) and dynamic verbs

Some English verbs, which we call state, non-continuous or stative verbs, aren't used in continuous tenses (like the present continuous, or the future continuous). These verbs often describe states that last for some time. Here is a list of some common ones:

Stative (or State) Verb List

A verb which isn't stative is called a dynamic verb, and is usually an action.
Some verbs can be both stative and dynamic:

Be

be is usually a stative verb, but when it is used in the continuous it means 'behaving' or 'acting'

you are stupid = it's part of your personality

you are being stupid = only now, not usually

Think

think (stative) = have an opinion
I think that coffee is great

think (dynamic) = consider, have in my head
what are you thinking about? I'm thinking about my next holiday

Have

have (stative) = own
I have a car

have (dynamic) = part of an expression
I'm having a party / a picnic / a bath / a good time / a break

See

see (stative) = see with your eyes / understand
I see what you mean
I see her now, she's just coming along the road

see (dynamic) = meet / have a relationship with
I've been seeing my boyfriend for three years
I'm seeing Robert tomorrow

Taste

taste (stative) = has a certain taste
This soup tastes great
The coffee tastes really bitter

taste (dynamic) = the action of tasting
The chef is tasting the soup

('taste' is the same as other similar verbs such as 'smell')

Hi I'm Sung yun

I had personality test on last Friday.

It was interesting.

My results says that I'm honest. I try to be honest in my life.

And I'm sometimes sociable. But sometimes I am not. I a bit shy and nervous in big groups of people.

I quiet mean at times.

I'm friendly. but that's all. I'm not optimist. I worry about many things.

I'm trustworthy and never tell anyone's secret. So my friend sometimes tell me their problems. Then I give them valid suggestions.

I'm a good listener. Because I respect others suggestion or their stories.

Thanks Sunjung!

Hi. I'm Sunjung.

First, thank someone who has a difficulty to analyze my bad picture.

However, I do not agree with my personality test results partially.

I think I’m basically friendly, sociable, optimistic person, but sometimes I become pessimistic, especially when I face frustration.

And, I'm not hard-working because I don't like working.

In my office, I usually spend time to surf the web.

In addition, I think I'm not mean even at times, but I don't know how the others think about me.
I'm sorry for late posting.
See you later.

Thanks Aeri!

Hi. I'm Aeri. We took a interesting psycology test last friday. First of all, the result was similar to myself. I'm an honest person. I just try to be honest at least. And I'm a bit lazy. Especially, I don't want to do anything on cold days. Also, I'm a good listener. I spend much times to listen to my friends and my boss. Sometimes they said "Tell me anything!" Finally, I don't think I'm a romantic person. I've never heard that I'm romantic. See you later.

Thanks Sanghwa and Tamim! Where are the other posts I wonder????!!! ;)

# data[].attributes.body
Hello everyone, This is Sanghwa

Today, I am about to commenting on my personality test that I took last friday.

First of all, Thanks for good evaluation of me.

In my opinion, I don't have such a good personality like quite romantic.

because I have never met girlfriend ever after I became a middle school student.

but I agree with two things.

First is that I am a good listener.

I am a quiet person so I talk a very little when I met a stranger and friends except my few best friends.

So at that time, I am familiar in listening to others rather than talking to others.

and the other thing is that I am a hard-working person.

Once I set my object to get something good, I make a full effort to achieve to that.

and I'd love to be concentrating on one thing that I like to do.

'There is nothing important to the person of endeavor' is the only motto in my life.

So thank you for reading, See you tomorrow :)

Personality test was so interested! It extremely corrected. also I felt quite better for a sentence. In my comment, there was written that 'You're patient but find it hard to show your true feelings.' usually my friends even my family don't know about this........ Whatever, also there is one incorrect. I'm not a hard-working person. maybe It's lazy person....! Anyway It was nice test for me. thank you! Tamim.
