Action verbs describe actions... cook, make, run, etc... - Action verbs can be used in present simple or present continuous. E.g. I am making lunch right now. I usually make lunch at the weekend., Verbs that describe states, possessions, desires, emotions, or feelings are called non-action verbs - They are not usually used in the present continuous, even if we mean now. (E.g. I think we should stay home. ), Verbs of senses are usually non-action verbs - look, smell, taste, sound, etc., Other common non-action verbs - agree, be, believe, need, like, love, belong, depend, forget, hate, know, matter, mean, need, prefer, realize, recognize, remember, seem, suppose, want, Watch out! Some verbs can be both, action and non-action verbs, depending on the context - E.g. I have a cat (have = posses, sate verb)  I'm having a hard time = action (having = experiencing), think = To believe/have an opinion (non-action) or to consider (action) - I think he's American ( I believe he's American --> non action) /// I'm thinking of about buying a new car. (I am considering buying a new car --> action),
