Non-Action Verbs
 Some verbs are not normally used in the progressive
form. They describe states that stay the same rather than
actions or events that change.
 These verbs can be categorized into 7 groups:
 1. appearances
 2. emotions
 3. mental states
 4. senses and perceptions
 5. possession
 6. wants and preferences
 7. other
Non-Action Verbs
1. Appearances
Appear, be, concern, look, mean, seem, represent
 I am the teacher in room 12.
 Ali seems sad right now
 You look worried.
 What does that word mean?
Non-Action Verbs
2. Mental states (know, see (understand), believe, feel
(believe), remember, realize, suspect, suppose,
understand, think, care, hope, wonder, agree, consider,
assume)
 I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies.
 Do you believe in miracles?
 I don’t remember what you told me yesterday!
 I think that’s a great idea.
 I wonder what the world will be like in the future.
Non-Action Verbs
3. Emotions: like, love, hate, trust, doubt, appreciate,
admire, envy, fear, regret
 She doesn't like to admit to mistakes.
 That husband doesn’t trust his wife.
 Paola hates sitting in traffic.
Non-Action Verbs
4. Senses and perception: smell, hear, see, feel, taste,
sound, notice, hurt, look
 I smell something burning.
 Do you see that fly on the wall?
 Do you hear that noise?
 The milk tastes sour. Don’t drink it.
 Tubing down the Guadalupe River looks and sounds
like fun.
State Verbs/Non-Action Verbs
5. Possession: belong, have, own, possess
(I own a home; Lynette has 3 cars; this ipad belongs to
Khalid.)
6. Wants and preferences: desire, need, prefer, want
(I need a job; I prefer coffee to tea.)
7. Other: cost, include, lack, owe, matter, weigh
(You owe me an apology; It doesn’t really matter; My
cat weighs a ton!)
Non-Action Verb Exceptions
 When you see non-action verbs used in the progressive form,
it is because the verb has a different meaning.
 1. McDonald’s slogan “I’m lovin’ it” is not the same love we
have for our parents, spouses, and children. I’m lovin’ it
means I’m enjoying it. Enjoy is action.
 2. Have—when it means possession—is non-progressive.
Have—when used in different expressions—can be
progressive.
 a. I’m having a difficult time/problem/hard time (struggling).
 b. I’m having a baby (I’m pregnant/the baby is in progress).
 c. I’m having a heart attack (it’s in progress).
 d. I’m having a party (hosting).
 e. I’m having breakfast/lunch/dinner (eating).
 f. Are we having fun yet (enjoying ourselves)?
Non-Action Verb Exceptions
 3. See
 I’m seeing an eye-doctor about my vision problem (meeting).
 Mahi has been seeing a really great guy lately (dating).
 4. Be
When we use “be” in the progressive form, it describes a temporary behavior. It means behaving or
acting.
 You’re being ridiculous.
 You’re being foolish.
 You’re being unreasonable.
 You’re being silly.
 5. Think
 I think green is a beautiful color (beliefs and opinions are non-action).
 What are you thinking about right now?
 I’m thinking about what I’ll eat for lunch (temporary thoughts are progressive because they don’t
last).
