Grammar tip: Continuous verbs are usually active verbs (verbs such as to run), that refer to
an action). Stative verbs (such as to know], refer to a state, and are usually used in simple
tenses, e.g. I want a new bike not I am wanting a new bike as to want is a state, not an action.
Some verbs such as to see have both an active and a stative meaning.
Look at the fo llo w in g sentences 1-5 and decide if the m ain verbs should be in the present
