E Stative verbs
There are a number of verbs of which describe states rather than actions. They are not normally used in the continuous form. Common examples are:
Verbs of thinking: believe, doubt, guess, imagine, know realize, suppose, understand
Verbs of the senses: hear, smell, sound, taste
Verbs of possession: belong to, have (meaning possess), own, possess
Verbs of emotion: dislike, hate, like, love, prefer, regret, want, wish
Verbs of appearance: appear, seem
Others: contain, depend on, include, involve, mean, measure, weigh, require
These usually found in the simple form because they do not refer to actions:
I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean.
