Grammar
動態動詞(dynamic verb)和靜態動詞(stative verb)
按照詞彙意義來講，英語中的動詞可以分爲動態動詞和靜態動詞
- 靜態動詞強調主語所處的狀態，例如：I like listening to music and going to concerts. 句中的like表示“喜歡”，是一個固定的狀態，因此是靜態動詞。除了like以外，還有一些有代表性的靜態動詞，例如love, hate, want, need, hear, see, believe等。靜態動詞通常不用於進行時態。
- 動態動詞強調主語的動作，例如：I’m talking about classical music. 句中的talk是動態動詞。其他的代表性動詞還有come, bring, buy, get, learn, listen, watch等。
- I feel relaxed and calm whenever listening to the classical music.
- I’ve always liked tennis.
- The girl is watching a horrible movie with her boyfriend.
