Dynamic and state verbs

 Most verbs have dynamic meanings. They describe actions and can be used in simple and continuous forms. 

    E.g.  I speak English in class.

            He's speaking to his mum on the phone.

Some verbs have stative meanings. They describe states. You cannot use them in the continuous form:

    E.g.    I believe he left an hour ago.

Some verbs can be used in both simple and continuous form, but the meaning changes.

    E.g.  I think he's a liar. (=believe)

            Susan's thinking about moving abroad. (=considering the possibility of)

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
