1. Overview: Stative verbs talk about states, not actions. Active verbs talk about actions. Stative verbs show feelings, thoughts, or relationships. We use them for things that are usually true. Common stative verbs include "like," "love," "hate," "understand," "know," "have," and "see." 2. Uses: - To show feelings. (I like pizza.) - To talk about what we know. (I know the answer.) - To talk about what we own. (I have a cat.) - To show what we see. (I see the stars.) 3. Exceptions: Some verbs can be stative or active. "Have" is stative for possession (I have a bike) and active for experiences (I am having lunch). 4. Notes: Stative verbs are not used in the continuous forms. We say "I understand," not "I am understanding."
