Algunos verbos, frecuentemente llamados stative verbs, se distinguen por que describen estados, i.e situaciones y condiciones. Un importante hecho gramatical es que los stative verbs son, si acaso es posible, raramente usados en tiempos progresivos. Los siguientes verbos son siempre stative verbs:

amaze	appreciate	astonish	believe	belong	care	consist of	contain
desire	dislike	envy	equal	exist	fear	feel	hate
hear	know	like	look like	love	matter	mind	need
owe	own	please	possess	prefer	realize	recognize	resemble
