Verbs that are not used in the Continuous Tense:
Stative verbs are not normally used in continuous tenses because they don’t describe action.
verbs denoting human senses - to see, to hear, to smell, to sound, to taste
verbs denoting thinking - to know, believe, to think (have an opinion), to doubt, to guess, to imagine, to mean, to realize, to recognize, to remember, to suppose, to understand
verbs denoting emotions – to love, to like, to dislike, to hate, to prefer, to need, to satisfy, to want, to wish
verbs denoting existence – to be, to exist
verbs denoting appearance - to appear, to resemble, to seem, to look
verbs denoting possession and relationships between things - to have, to contain, to depend, to belong, to concern, to consist of, to deserve, to fit, to include, to involve, to owe, to own, to possess
verbs denoting physical properties of objects – to measure (have length, etc.), to taste (have a flavour), to smell (give out a smell), to sound, to weigh (have weight)
Some verbs (such as be, have, imagine, look, see, smell, taste, think) are stative with one meaning and non-stative with another meaning.
E.g. Do you have your air-ticket with you? (state: possession)
Are you having lunch at the moment? (action: eating)
Types of questions General question
The general question belongs to the whole sentence and the answer for it is ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
Do you like ice-cream? – Yes, I do.
Can you speak English? – Yes, I can.
Are you a schoolboy? – No, I’m not.
Does Hyde Park have its own character? – Yes, it does.
Is Great Britain a member of the Commonwealth? – Yes, it is.
Special question
Special question belongs to a definite member of the sentence or to the group of words and requires a particular answer.
What is your name? – My name is Tanya.
Where do you live? – I live in Ukraine.
What do families usually give each other on Easter Sunday? – Easter eggs.
What does this factory produce? - It produces cars.
The word order in the special question is the following:
1) Question word (what, where, who, when, how, etc.)
2) Auxiliary verb (modal verb)
3) Subject
4) Main verb
5) Object
6) Adverbial modifier (of place, time, manner)
In special questions to the subject there is no auxiliary verb and there is the right word order. The subject is always considered to be in Singular.
Who wants to go to the cinema?
Who lives in this house?
What country possesses some mineral resources: coal, iron ores, oil, gas and some metals?
Alternative question
Alternative question has the choice from two opportunities. It is formed like a general question, but the conjunction ‘or’ is added and then the second part of the question.
Do you like coffee or tea? – I like tea.
Is Ben in Kiev or in Moscow? - Ben is in Kiev.
Are you married or single? – I’m single.
Disjunctive (or Tail) Question
Disjunctive question consists of two parts. The first part of this question is a declarative sentence (positive or negative). The second part of the question is separated by coma and it is a short question (‘a tail’). If the first part is positive, then a tail is negative and vice versa.
He can read, can't he?
He is there, isn't he?
He isn't there, is he?
