Stative Verbs in English: Grammar Course
About course
In English, verbs are divided not only into regular and irregular, but also by the type of action they describe. There are dynamic verbs (which describe actions or changes) and stative verbs (which describe states, thoughts, or feelings). For many non-native speakers, this distinction can be unfamiliar.
This is why we created this course for the learners at the A2+/B1 level — to make it clear once and for all: when it is possible to use verbs in continuous and when it is not. Here is what you will find inside:
- a clear and visual explanation of the difference between dynamic and stative verbs;
- examples of verbs that change meaning depending on how they are used;
- practice exercises to help reinforce understanding and build confidence;
- a handy reference table with the most common stative verbs, grouped by category;
- audio dialogues featuring stative verbs used in real-life conversations.
This course will help you better understand native speakers, avoid grammar mistakes, and use verbs more confidently and naturally in context!
