Activity and State Verbs


In English, there are different kinds of verbs but there are two main types that now that we are using progressive tenses is important to study them. 

 When we talk about activity verbs we talk about any verb that in Eglish denotes an action. 

 The state verbs on the other hand denote states, senses and ownership. 

 Meanwhile we use activity verbs in all tenses un English it is no possible to use state verbs in progressive tenses with some exceptions. 

 We can see a little explanation in this video:
