Verbe statice în limba engleză

În limba engleză, unele verbe nu pot fi folosite la forma lor continuă (sau apar în această formă doar în anumite cazuri). Verbele de acest tip se numesc verbe statice (stative verbs) sau noncontinue (non-continuous verbs).

Toate celelalte verbe sunt verbe dinamice (dynamic verbs). Diferența dintre verbele dinamice și cele statice este următoarea:

• Verbele dinamice indică acțiuni.
• Verbele statice indică stări, senzații, lucruri care nu reprezintă acțiuni.
