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.’
Emotion:love, hate, want, need
Possession:have, own, want, belong
Senses:see, hear, smell, seem
Thought:know, believe, remember
Here are some more examples of state verbs:
State Verbs | |||

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:
'Ihavea car.’ ­–state verbshowing possession
'I amhavinga bath.’ ­–action verbwhich, in this case, means ‘taking’.
‘Ithinkyou are cool.’ –state verbmeaning ‘in my opinion’.
‘I amthinkingabout buying a motorbike.’ –action verbmeaning ‘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。
e.g.You're always seeing something strange.
I'm continually forgetting people's name.
