Thank you
Albertine, thank you for being such an enthusiastic English Learner. 🙂
Hello. I learned that when we use the stative sense with some verbs we cannot use a continuous tense. It is useful to ask yourself the question: “is there any real action or activity?”
For example:
I think politics is so boring (It’s just an opinion and there’s no a real action. We cannot use a continuous tense)
I am/was thinking on how to solve the problem (There’s a real action, therefore I can use a continuous tense)
Thanks.
Well done, Wilber.
