  1. TO HAVE Key Differences Between Stative and Dynamic Uses of "Having". Stative: Refers to ownership or possession. She has a car. (Possession) Dynamic: Refers to engaging in an action or undergoing an experience. She is having a party. (Action) In dynamic usage, "having" usually points to something happening in the present or future, focusing on events or activities that involve active participation rather than simple possession. TO BE Key Difference Between Stative and Dynamic Uses of "Being": Stative: Describes a state of existence, condition, or identity. It is not about doing something but about how someone is at the moment. I am happy. Dynamic: Implies that some form of action or temporary behavior is taking place, often with a sense of ongoing activity. He is being stupid. ( his behavior in this moment is silly) In essence, "being" describes how someone is or exists in a particular moment, either in a state (like being rude or happy) or as part of ongoing behavior (like being helpful or annoying). 1. To Know Stative: Refers to possessing knowledge. I know the answer. (Knowledge) Dynamic: Refers to the process of learning or discovering. I am getting to know her better. (Learning about someone) 2. To Feel Stative: Describes a state of emotion. I feel happy. (Emotion)
  2. Dynamic: Refers to the act of experiencing emotions or physical sensations. I am feeling the heat of the sun. (Experiencing) 3. To see Stative: Refers to the ability to perceive visually. I see the mountains from my house. (Perception) Dynamic: Refers to the act of meeting or encountering someone. I am seeing my friend tonight. (Meeting) 4. To Want Stative: Refers to a desire or need. I want a new car. (Desire) Dynamic: Used in contexts that imply taking action toward achieving that desire. I am wanting to improve my skills. (Striving for improvement) 5. To Taste Stative: Describes the flavor of something. This soup tastes delicious. (Flavor) Dynamic: Refers to the act of sampling food or drink. I am tasting the new dish at the restaurant. (Sampling) These verbs can switch between expressing a static state and a dynamic action, depending on the context in which they are used.
