Types of Verbs
it is extremely important to understand that NOT all English verbs are the same. English verbs are divided into three groups: Normal Verbs, Non-Continuous Verbs, and Mixed Verbs
Normal Verbs
These verbs are usually physical actions which you can see somebody doing. These verbs can be used in all tense
Normal Verbs
to run, to walk, to eat, to fly, to go, to say, to touch, etc
Examples
I eat dinner every day
I am eating dinner now
Non-Continuous Verbs
These verbs are usually things you cannot see somebody doing. These verbs are rarely used in continuous tense. They include
Abstract Verbs
to be, to want, to cost, to seem, to need, to care, to contain, to owe, to exist
Possession Verbs
to possess, to own, to belong
Emotion Verbs
to like, to love, to hate, to dislike, to fear, to envy, to mind
Examples

He wants a drink now
Mixed Verbs
These verbs have more than one meaning. In a way, each meaning is a unique verb. Some meanings behave like "Non-Continuous Verbs," while other meanings behave like "Normal Verbs"
