STATIVE VERBS

ENGLISH	INDONESIAN
My dear students, here is a material to enrich yourself. It is taken from www.perfect-english-grammar.com	Anak-anakku yang terkasih, berikut materi untuk pengayaan. Bahan berasal dari www.perfect-english-grammar.com
Some verbs are only (or mostly) used in simple tenses (Simple Present Tense or Simple Past Tense), and are not used in continuous tenses (Present Continuous Tense or Past Continuous Tense).	Beberapa kata hanya (sebagian besar) digunakan dalam simple tenses (Simple Present Tense atau Simple Past Tense), dan tidak digunakan pada continuous tenses (Present Continuous Tense atau Past Continuous Tense).
These verbs - used only in simple tenses - are called stative, or state verbs. Often stative verbs are about liking or disliking something, or about a mental state, not about an action.	Kata yang seperti ini - yang hanya digunakan pada simple tenses - disebut kata kerja statif. Kata kerja statif sering menyatakan suka atau tidak suka pada sesuatu, atau tentang keadaan mental, bukan tentang kegiatan.
A verb which isn’t stative is called a dynamic verb, and is usually an action.	Kata kerja yang bukan statif disebut kata kerja dinamis dan biasanya sebuah tindakan.

Berikut daftar kata kerja statif
