    Present continuous

    There are some verbs that we do not normally use with continuous
    (or progressive) tenses. And there are other verbs that have one
    meaning with simple tenses and a different meaning with continuous
    tenses.

    N o n - c o n t i n u o u s Ve r b s

    Non-continuous verbs are verbs that we do not normally use with


    continuous tenses. These "stative" verbs are about state, not action,
    and they cannot express the continuous or progressive aspect. Here
    are some of the most common non-continuous verbs:

    • feeling: hate, like, love, prefer, want, wish.


    • senses: appear, feel, hear, see, seem, smell, sound, taste.
    Present continuous

    • communication: agree, deny, disagree, mean, promise, satisfy,


    surprise.
    • thinking: believe, imagine, know, mean, realize, recognize,
    remember, understand.
    • other states: be, belong, concern, depend, involve, matter, need,
    owe, own, possess.
