Stative verbs in the continuous form; Linking verbs
Tóm tắt
The lesson uses context to distinguish continuous uses of stative verbs from linking-verb structures.
Hiểu bài
The grammar lesson contrasts stative meanings with action meanings and practises linking verbs. A speaking example says, “The government is thinking of building a new skyscraper here,” where thinking describes an active process. The response “Our city will look more modern” uses look as a linking verb. Editing items test complements after linking verbs, including whether a museum “looks beautiful” and whether a proposal “sounds good.” Learners select forms according to contextual meaning rather than merely the verb’s dictionary label.
