Episode Synopsis "Is "I am remembering something" incorrect? or what is non-action verb or stative verb?"
Non-action verb or stative verbs Verbs which don’t talk about action are called non-action verbs. Let’s take few examples to understand it. Examples: · My mother is cooking food (here, your mother is performing an action of cooking food so, cook is an action-verb) · My mother doesn’t like milk (here, like is a desire not an action, so ‘like’ is an non-action verb) Note:We don’t use non-action verbs in the progressive tenses. Non-action verbs talk about state, sense, desire, possession, or opinion. The most common non-action verbs are: Look Smell Sound Taste feel Want Prefer Like Love Have own possess belong Consider, think, believe Think Believe seem appear Know Forget Remember Sometimes some verbs have both action and non-action meanings. It depends on the situation whether the action or non-action form of the verb is used. Verbs. Used as non action verb. Used as action verb Look. She looks beautiful. She is looking at me Think.
