State and action verbs
We use simple and continuous tenses with action verbs.
The meaning of the verb doesn’t change.

I go home at lunchtime.
I’m eating an apple now.
I’m going home now.
We can only use simple tenses with state verbs (e .g. believe, belong, hate, know, like, love, need,
prefer, see, understand).
want to be alone. NOT I’m wanting to be alone.
Yes, I remember now. NOT I’m remembering now.
