[@khuma65]

Dear Andrew, I love your teaching. I am still loving loving your teaching. Which one should I use?🙏

[@mapleleafesl6162]

In most cases, the first sentence is best. Occasionally "I am still loving..." can be used but be careful not to overuse it. It's very casual.

[@paradigminstitute7316]

i like your video

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Thank you! Please share.

[@k.t4496]

I found a book, the name of it (Understandig Grammar)!!

[@minsaasad773]

i have a bicycle. if in this sentence have is linking what is the complement in this sentence? please answer

[@mapleleafesl6162]

In this sentence 'have' is the main verb. I'm not sure what you mean by 'linking', therefore I'm unable to answer your question. Could you clarify further?

[@minsaasad773]

@@mapleleafesl6162 i was asking that is it stative verb?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Yes, it is.

[@ronenr1405]

Minsa Asad great question!! I suggest you subscribe to Andrew’s channel, so that you could ask many questions and what is more important- to have his answers 👌🏼

[@nawarnawar5822]

Hi sir, i heard that we can also use verbs like ( like,love,want) as dynamic verbs for example is that correct if i say ( i'm liking this event ) here i'am discribing my feeling as a dynamic state which means after 30 minutes attending this event i probably won't like it

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Yes, you can but it would only be used to emphasize something. So, for instance, your example above would be used to emphasize how much you are enjoying that event. In most cases and with most stative verbs, however, this would be quite rare.

[@nawarnawar5822]

@@mapleleafesl6162 thank you sir for your advice. now, i know how to use these verbs

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Glad to hear it.

[@nemusnemus1196]

@@mapleleafesl6162is it like mc donald's slogan : i'm loving it, sir?

[@gunasekaran7853]

How about "enjoy" ? can i use "enjoy+ing"?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Enjoy is not a stative verb. It can be used with either an infinitive or a gerund with equal meaning.

[@glasssmirror2314]

Tkank you sir for uploading Here you said stative v are non action but at the same time you said they may be used to emphasise so I don't know which is which

Super Master you are also God pls teach be verb have verb

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Thanks! More lessons on verbs coming soon!

[@ronenr1405]

And only so called performative verbs should not be used in the continuous form at all- what does my textbook say 😜

[@rahulrongepatil248]

Right

[@lifesbelongnature9727]

Hi

[@Covid--oo6tt]

why seems ? but its is only seem

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Hi there. I'm not sure what you're asking. Could you rephrase your question maybe?

[@ronenr1405]

I think you should release new videos at least once a week; otherwise I do not see the pace of subscribing to your channel increase significantly.

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Thanks, Ronen R!

[@lifesbelongnature9727]

HELO

[@ronenr1405]

Teacher, I have a question: I’m reading a textbook now (Advance Grammar in Use); and it says that: 1. There are some state verbs like “attract”, “sound” and even “love” that could me used in the continuous form. 2. And there are so called metal state verbs which could be used in the both form - and the meaning is being slightly changed What would you say?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Hi Ronen, thanks for the questions. 1. Yes, that is absolutely true. I hesitate to teach this point though because I've noticed it has a tendency to be misused by language learners. Stative verbs are sometimes used in the progressive form to show emphasis. For instance, 'I'm loving this new coffee machine I bought' or 'This is party is sounding like it's going to be good'. 2. As for this question, I'm pretty sure I addressed it in the final part of the lesson.

[@lifesbelongnature9727]

HELO

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Hi!

[@alexthai2456]

but why, why making so many different in grammar for learner..............

[@mapleleafesl6162]

I didn't make the language--just helping people to understand it :-)

[@readingaddict]

@@mapleleafesl6162 you are right and ❤thanks

[@shlomitgrantz8459]

Thank you for clarifying the stative verbs...a constructive comment I have is that you should consider not using the word OKAY in basically the beginning of every sentence you want to transition to...Your teaching method is great but I kept waiting for you to say OKAY and it was a distraction...

[@mapleleafesl6162]
