Note: Stative verbs do not usually describe actions. They describe states (feelings and thought). They are not usually used in the present continuous form. Here are the list of some common stative verbs: to be, see, hear, understand, know, like, want, glance, feel, think, smell, love, hate, realize, seem, remember, forget, belong to, believe ...
We use PRESENT SIMPLE with these verbs.
Ex:
- I am tired now.
- She wants to go for a walk at the moment
