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".

10So my question is: Is the stative/dynamic dichotomy a property of a given verb 01u00in itself02u00? 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?02br

Stative verbs infer a thought or emotion i.e. 'to think', 'to ponder' or 'to love', whereas dynamic verbs infer that some kind of action has, is or will be taking place i.e. 'to walk' or 'to destroy'.
