Stative verbs Stative verbs are verbs which describe a state rather than an action, and so do not usually have a continuous tense. These verbs are: Verbs of senses; appear, feel, hear, look, see, seem, smell, sound, taste, etc. Verbs of perception; believe, forget, know, realise, remember, understand, etc. Verbs which express feelings and emotions; desire, detest, enjoy, hate, like, prefer, want, etc. And some other verbs; be, belong, contain, cost, fit, have, include, keep, matter, need, owe, own, want, weigh, wish, etc. Some of these verbs can be used in continuous tense but different meaning; think, have, see, taste, smell, appear, fit

Adverbs of frequency Adverbs of frequency are normally placed before the main verb. Adverbs of frequency are placed after the verb to be and after auxiliary verbs. I always drive to work. Susan is often late for work. He has usually wanted to go on a safari.
