	miriam  +  40076 Fri, 30 Jul 04 05:30 PM Hello, Guest. Simply put, dynamic verbs are those can occur with progressive aspect (in continuous tenses), while stative verbs cannot. Dynamic verbs are, for example, go, run, watch. "He was running down the street." Stative verbs: forgive, desire, know, etc. Stative verbs are mainly verbs of "inert perception and cognition", and "relational verbs" (intend, concern, possess). Dynamic verbs can be "activity verbs", "process verbs", verbs of "bodily sensation".

Dynamic verbs can be used in the continuous tenses whereas stative cannot. However, some verbs fall into both categories, such as 'live' for example: I have been living in London (dynamic) vs. I have lived in London (stative) "I am loving chocolate (more and more)" is fine. Even stative verbs can be used dynamically, especially when we want to express change, development or temporariness. Inchoateknowledge Joined on Wed, May 3 2006 Senior Member 2,549 Beep!

	CalifJim  +  322154 Tue, 30 Jan 07 10:39 PM Even stative verbs can be used dynamically So my question is:  Is the stative/dynamic dichotomy a property of a given verb in itself?  Or a property of its usage in a particular context?  Or can both the verb itself AND its usage both have the stative/dynamic classification, which need not agree?
