Transcript
The group of Non-Continuous Verbs contains those verbs which are rarely or never
used in continuous tenses.
For example, let's the verb hate.We can not say:

I'm hating you.
But we can say:

I hate you.
Well, that might not have been the best verb to use... :-)
Anyway, the Non-Continuous Verbs can be divided into several categories.

I know: the list is long. But don't worry—you do not have to know all these verbs by
heart! The best way to avoid mistakes is to read as much as you can in English.
After a while, it will become easy for you to tell whether a given verb takes
continuous form or not.
Also, there is a very interesting group of verbs whose meaning can change
depending on which form they take—continuous or non-continuous.
