Liza, I hate to tell you this but despite what you have learned in your ESL coursebooks, native speakers do use stative verbs in the continuous tenses. Anyone who has poked their nose outside of an ESL textbook into the real world is already aware of that fact. As a native speaker I have used all of the statives on your list as progressive statives. -In fact, all of the stative verbs (some more than others) can be used in the continuous tense given the right context. -The more formal the situation the less likely their use in the continuous tenses. -They are more commonly used that way in speech and speech-like writing...rarely in formal writing....REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU TAKE AN ESL EXAM ! "Progressive statives" emphasize the periodic or temporary nature of an event. They convey more intensity and involvement. Progressive statives (like modals) can convey politeness in the form of a tentativeness or softening. There has been a lot of study on the subject recently and the general conclusion is as follows -Use of progressive statives may represent a language change in progress, not only of a syntactic nature, but also semantically as a change in the conceptualization of these verbs from "stative" to more "dynamic." Examples: Although "to know" is not supposed to be used in the progressive form, a quick search on the internet turns up two current examples. I am knowing myself as love.” As love. You become what you state you are...Love. ...taken from an inspirational religious talk. She looked so splendid as she rolled her head one side and tells me, "Thanks for the good time and the bottle of wine" I told her nothing to it, the least that I could do, Knowing I am knowing you. I should have kissed here but my mind went off to reconcile, The fact that I was there, I was there. So, I left her wanting as she looked away from me, Like she didn't care, she didn't care. I... I think she's the one I... I think she's the one I am, knowing her. And I am knowing her. ...from a song by Alan Dawson.
