stative verb 不接進行式。包括了情狀受知四種。
- 情緒(emotion)。例如 like, love, dislike, hate, prefer, want。
- 狀態(status)。例如 be, have(擁有)。
- 感受(perception)。例如 taste, smell, hear, sound, feel, look。
- 認知(cognitive)。例如 see, know, understand, remember, believe, think, seem, agree, disagree。
情狀受知動詞不接進行式,因為概念上會很怪。例如 I’m having a car. 我正在擁有一台車 => 語義錯誤。然而,還是可以搭配 start/begin/try 來描述正開始慢慢地開始形成一種狀態、情緒、認知或感受。例如 I begin to like hamburgers. I start believing in God. I’m trying to have a car.
would 描述現況反轉的習慣。例如 When I was a teenager, I would wake up late every day. 本句描述過去會晚起,並暗示現況反轉了,不會再晚起。特別注意,強調重覆發生的 would 不可接 stative verb。若遇到的話,應使用強調狀態的 used to 來接 stative verb。例如 When I was a teenager, I would be overweight. => (X) When I was a teenager, I used to be overweight. => (O) 。
