When we think of verbs, we tend to run to action verbs. Those are, you guessed it, verbs that show action such as, “She ran to the grocery store.” But, a stative verb (also known as state verbs) perform a different function.

They express a state, rather than an action. These verbs tend to be less tangible such as, “She feels exhausted” or “He believes she's right.” These verbs often point to emotions, relationships, the senses, or thoughts. Let’s review some stative verb examples for further clarification.
