• I verbi di stato (stative verbs) non descrivono

un’azione ma uno stato; non vengono

pertanto usati con il present continuous.

• Si tratta di:

– verbi che esprimono stati d’animo o

volontà (like, love, hate, prefer, want, need

ecc.)

He wants to go to the cinema tonight.

(NON is wanting)

– verbi che fanno riferimento ai sensi (feel,

hear, smell, taste, look ecc.)

Do you hear me now? (NON Are you

hearing).

– verbi che descrivono un’azione della

mente (think, believe, know, realise,

remember, understand ecc.)

I don’t know where Paul is. (NON am not

knowing).

Alcuni di questi verbi possono essere

usati con il present continuous quando

esprimono un’azione, ma assumono un

significato diverso.

This film looks interesting.

Questo film sembra interessante.

She’s looking at me.

Lei mi sta guardando.

Scrivi frasi usando il present

continuous. Segui l’esempio.

Peter / visit / his grandparents / this weekend

3 Claire and Rosa / fly / to Rome / tomorrow

4 I / take / my brother / to see / a movie / this

nel futuro. In questo caso si usa con avverbi

o espressioni di tempo come:

tomorrow = domani

next week / month / year = la prossima

settimana / il prossimo mese / il prossimo

anno

this morning / afternoon / evening = questa

mattina / questo pomeriggio / questa sera

tonight = stasera

get the opportunity to see a whole range of shows and events. Whether it’s dancing, writing, performances,

watching films or telling jokes , there’s something for everyone. Each year, the festival attracts more and more

people. Visitors, in fancy dresses, can hang out in a central area called “Fringe City”, where there are outdoor

tents and stages. There are also other theatres and cafés throughout the city that host music events and film

nights. The events are free and the organisers even encourage people to take part. Do you have a great idea
