(Not 'is loving') 2 Most verbs in English are dynamic. We can use them in two ways: - in the simple present tense to describe habits, etc. [> 9.161: 1 often make cakes. - in the present progressive to describe deliberate actions in progress [> 9.281: I 'm making a cake. 3 We can describe three classes of verbs: a Dynamic verbs which have simple or progressive forms (most verbs in English): I often listen to records. (simple present tense) I'm l istening to a record. (present progressive tense) b Verbs which are always stative: This coat belongs to you. (simple present tense) (Not 'is belonging') c Verbs that have stative or dynamic uses: I'm w eighlng myself. (a deliberate action: present progressive tense) I w eigh 65 kilos. (a state) (Not *I'm weighing 65 kilos.
