State verbs VS. Action verbs

Good lord, Iman—there must be hundreds of both! If you google 'stative verbs' you may get a partial list of the most common ones, but active verbs are all but infinite in number.

Dear Mistre Micawbre,

Thank you very much for your time and attention.

Best regards,

Iman

imantaghaviIs there any website to that lists the state and action verbs?

I doubt it very much. You can probably determine this yourself 95% of the time just by thinking about the meaning of the verb.

throw, write, jump, shoot, find, eat, drink, dance, swim, drive,

Hi CJ,

Thank you very much for your reply, but I'm dubious about the verb "wear" which you've put it under the state verbs group.
Since it consists of some action, shouldn't it be grouped under the action verbs category?

Regards,

Iman

What is the action when a person is wearing a shirt? The shirt is just there, covering the body. I'm not sure what aspect of "wearing something" you are focusing on.

If I put on a shirt, I'm performing an action. If I take off a shirt, I'm performing an action. But I don't see the action in wearing the shirt.

I think you are thinking that wear means 'putting on a cloth'. It is a common mistake.

The first meaning in the Oxford's might clear this confusion:

Thanks a lot Praj.
