VERBI CHE NON VOGLIONO IL PRESENT CONTINUOUS

Ci sono verbi che non vengono usati al present continuous e sono, ad esempio, like e know: normalmente non si dice "I'm knowing" o "they're liking" ma "I know" e "they like" anche per azioni che stanno accadendo al momento. Vediamo quali sono questi verbi che si usano più che altro al presente---->

hate   like   love   want    need    prefer

know   mean    believe    remember     understand   suppose     realize

seem    belong    contain     fit     consist

see      hear     smell      taste

•  I'm thirsty. I want something to drink (e non I'm wanting!)
• She doesen't seem very angry at the moment 
• Do you understand what I mean 
• Do you see that man over there ( e non are you seeing)
