Grammar

In this lesson students get to know the concept of stative verbs, learn to recognise them and use them in Present Simple and Present Continuous. Furthermore, they learn about the stative/active verbs with a change in meaning (i.e have, see, look, taste, weigh). Having finished the brick, your students will smoothly complete any gaps with stative and active verbs. They won’t say “I’m not understanding” and not even “I don’t understand” after this lesson!
