A verb which isn’t stative is called a dynamic verb, and is usually an action




Some verbs can be both stative and dynamic

Be
be is usually a stative verb, but when it is used in the continuous it means ‘behaving’ or ‘acting’

• you are stupid = it’s part of your personality
• you are being stupid = only now, not usually

Think

• think (stative) = have an opinion
  I think that coffee is great
• think (dynamic) = consider, have in my head
  what are you thinking about? I’m thinking about my next holiday

Have

• have (stative) = own
  I have a car
• have (dynamic) = part of an expression
  I’m having a party / a picnic / a bath / a good time / a break

See

• see (stative) = see with your eyes / understand
  I see what you mean
  I see her now, she’s just coming along the road
• see (dynamic) = meet / have a relationship with
  I’ve been seeing my boyfriend for three years
  I’m seeing Robert tomorrow

Taste

• taste (stative) = has a certain taste
  This soup tastes great
  The coffee tastes really bitter
• taste (dynamic) = the action of tasting
  The chef is tasting the soup
  
  ('taste' is the same as other similar verbs such as 'smell')
