Stative verbs

7 Read the table. Then put the verbs in brackets in Present Simple or Present Continuous. Give your reasons.

Some verbs do not usually have continuous forms because they describe a state, thought, or feeling rather than an action (e.g., see, feel, hear, look, smell, sound, taste, forget, remember, want, belong, etc). He looks good.

Some verbs can have continuous forms but with a difference in meaning. I think he's very clever. (I believe) I'm thinking of going out. (I'm considering)

1 Mark ..... (believe) that UFOs exist.

2 Sheila ..... (not/understand) the exercise.

3 I ..... (see) Paula later today. ..... (you/want) to come?

4 Martha ..... (love) reading science-fiction books.

5 A: Look! The cook ..... (taste) the food! I think it's ready.

B: Great! It ..... (smell) delicious! I can't wait.

6 What ..... (you/look) at?

Прочитайте таблицу. Затем поставьте глаголы в скобках в Present Simple или Present Continuous. Объясните свои причины.

Ответ:

1 Mark believes that UFOs exist. (believes - because 'believe' expresses a state of mind or opinion, not an action)

2 Sheila doesn't understand the exercise. (doesn't understand - because 'understand' expresses a state of knowing, not an action)

3 I am seeing Paula later today. Do you want to come? (am seeing - because it refers to a planned future arrangement, an action; want - because 'want' expresses a desire, a state, not an action)

4 Martha loves reading science-fiction books. (loves - because 'love' expresses a feeling or preference, a state, not an action)

5 A: Look! The cook is tasting the food! I think it's ready. (is tasting - because 'taste' here refers to an action being performed at the moment of speaking, indicated by 'Look!')

B: Great! It smells delicious! I can't wait. (smells - because 'smell' here describes a quality of the food, a state, not an action)

6 What are you looking at? (are you looking - because 'look' here refers to an action being performed at the moment of speaking)
