"Joe is chasing the bus."



"Kevin wants some ice-cream."

t we often use can + see/hear:
  • can see someone in the distance. not I am seeing someone in the distance.
  • can't hear you very well. not I am not hearing you very well.
With verbs that we cannot use in continuous tenses, there is no real action or activity. Compare hear and listen. The verb "hear" means "receive sound in your ears". There is no action or activity by you. We cannot use hear with continuous tenses. But listenmeans "try to hear". You make an effort to hear. There is a kind of action or activity. We can use listen with continuous tenses.                             
Some verbs can be both stative and dynamic:
Be
be is usually a stative verb, but when it is used in the continuous it means 'behaving' or 'acting'
  • you are stupid = it's part of your personality
  • you are being stupid = only now, not usually
Think

    I think that coffee is great
  • think (dynamic) = consider, have in my head

Have
  • have (stative) = own
    I have a car
  • have (dynamic) = part of an expression

See
  • see (stative) = see with your eyes / understand
    I see what you mean
    I see her now, she's just coming along the road
  • see (dynamic) = meet / have a relationship with

Taste
