Non-continuous Verbs

Non-continuous verbs are verbs that we do not normally use with continuous tenses. These "stative" verbs are about state, not action, and they cannot express the continuous or progressive aspect. Here are some of the most common non-continuous verbs:
  • feelinghate, like, love, prefer, want, wish
  • sensesappear, feel, hear, see, seem, smell, sound, taste
  • communicationagree, deny, disagree, mean, promise, satisfy, surprise
  • thinkingbelieve, imagine, know, mean, realize, recognize, remember, understand
  • other statesbe, belong, concern, depend, involve, matter, need, owe, own, possess
Look at these example sentences, right and wrong:
want a coffee.not I am wanting a coffee.
don't believe you are right.not I am not believing you are right.
Does this pen belong to you?not Is this pen belonging to you?
It seemed wrong.not It was seeming wrong.
don't hear anything.not I am not hearing anything.
Notice that we often use can + see/hear:
  • can see someone in the distance. not I am seeing someone in the distance.
  • can't hear you very well. not I am not hearing you very well.
With verbs that we cannot use in continuous tenses, there is no real action or activity. Compare hear and listen. The verb "hear" means "receive sound in your ears". There is no action or activity by you. We cannot use hear with continuous tenses. But listenmeans "try to hear". You make an effort to hear. There is a kind of action or activity. We can use listen with continuous tenses.                             
Some verbs can be both stative and dynamic:
Be
be is usually a stative verb, but when it is used in the continuous it means 'behaving' or 'acting'
  • you are stupid = it's part of your personality
  • you are being stupid = only now, not usually
Think
  • think (stative) = have an opinion
    I think that coffee is great
  • think (dynamic) = consider, have in my head
    what are you thinking about? I'm thinking about my next holiday
Have
  • have (stative) = own
    I have a car
  • have (dynamic) = part of an expression
    I'm having a party / a picnic / a bath / a good time / a break
See
  • see (stative) = see with your eyes / understand
    I see what you mean
    I see her now, she's just coming along the road
  • see (dynamic) = meet / have a relationship with
    I've been seeing my boyfriend for three years
    I'm seeing Robert tomorrow
Taste
  • taste (stative) = has a certain taste
    This soup tastes great
    The coffee tastes really bitter
  • taste (dynamic) = the action of tasting
    The chef is tasting the soup

    ('taste' is the same as other similar verbs such as 'smell')

Omitted /t/: /t/

An italicized /t/ means that the sound can be silent—or omitted—from a word. This /t/ allophone varies the most widely among native speakers, and even within a single speaker's speech patterns. The /t/ is less likely to be omitted when the speaker is emphasizing the word for an reason. Also, among all the /t/ allophones, this usage can be considered the most informal and non-standardized.
There are two scenarios where the /t/ is often omitted.
Scenario 1) The /t/ is optionally silent when it follows /n/ and precedes a vowel sound, /r/ (including all r-controlled vowels) or a syllabic /l/.
1. center: /ˈsɛnt ɚ/
2. gentle: /ˈʤɛnt l/
3. advantage: /əd ˈvænt ɪʤ/

Scenario 2) In addition to the above instances of omitting the /t/, it is often omitted when it occurs between two consonant sounds (except the consonants specifically mentioned for /t̬/ and glottal stop). This is likely to occur when an -s ending is added to a word.
1. prints: /prɪnts/
2. acts: /ækts/
3. accepts: /ək ˈsɛpts/
