stative verbs

What Are Stative Verbs? (with Examples) Stative verbs describe states. They do not describe actions.

For example: I am late. (Here, "am" is a stative verb. It describes a state.)
I caught a fish. ("Caught" is not a stative verb. It describes an action. It is an action verb.)
John knows where the treasure is hidden. (Here, "knows" is a stative verb. "Is" is also a stative verb. They both describe states.)
John found the treasure. ("Found" is not a stative verb. It describes an action. It is an action verb.)

Some Verbs Can Be Stative Verbs or Action Verbs Remember that stative verbs are not action verbs. With a stative verb, there is no activity happening. This is a key point when identifying stative verbs because some of the verbs listed as stative verbs can be action verbs depending on the context

stative verbs

Example 1: The soup tastes lovely. (Here, "tastes" is a stative verb related to sense.) The chef tastes the soup. (In this example, "tastes" is not a stative verb. It describes an action. It is an action verb.)

Example 2: The room measures 400 square feet. (Here, "measures" is a stative verb related to measurements.) He measures the room with a laser range-finder. (In this example, "measures" is not a stative verb. It describes an action. It is an action verb.)

The Difference between Stative Verbs and Action Verbs

Here is another example: Mark has an issue. (Here, "has" is a stative verb. It relates to possession. There is no action involved.) Mark is having an issue with the new regulations. (In this example, there is activity. "To have an issue with" means "to struggle with." Therefore, "is having" is an action verb.)
