Among these are verbs of perception (feel, see, smell, taste, hear), mental verbs (believe, doubt, forget, remember, hate, hope, love, feel, etc), and verbs of being or relationships (be, belong to, remain, have, resemble, etc.)

I am sorry about the unspecific nature of the question. The tenses part of it confuses me.
For example consider the following situation;
I go to a store, see a dress over there and like it.
I obviously cannot say I am liking the dress.
Saying I like the dress also sounds odd because it would mean I have seen it before and like it .
So which form of tenses am I to use in situati

because it would mean I have seen it before and like it .-- No, it does not mean that; it means you like it at the moment.
So which form of tenses am
