Continuous Verbs:
A tense, Past, Present or Future, formed with the auxiliary verb 'be' and 'a main verb in '-ing' form'. (E.g. he is speaking, they have been working)
Note: There are some verbs that we do not normally use with continuous (or progressive) tenses. Also, there are other verbs that have one meaning when expressed in noun continuous form and a different meaning with continuous tenses.
We will look into these, in this lesson.

Non Continuous Verbs:
Non-continuous verbs are verbs that we do not normally use in the continuous form. These \'stative\' verbs talk about 'state', not 'action' and they cannot express the continuous or progressive aspect. Verbs that cannot be used in continuous forms are usually verbs that you cannot 'see' somebody doing.
Here are some of the most common non-continuous verbs:
(1) Verbs of perception: E.g. see, hear, smell, notice, recognize.
(2) Verbs of appearing: E.g. appear, look, seem.
(3) Verbs of emotion: E.g. want, wish, desire, feel, like, love, hate, hope, refuse, prefer.
(4) Verbs of thinking: E.g. think, suppose, believe, agree, consider, trust, remember, forget, know, understand, imagine, mean, mind.
(5) Have (means to possess), own, possess, belong to, contain, consist of, be (except when used in the passive)
