Q

What is the difference between a dynamic and a stative verb?

A

Dynamic verbs describe movement than can be seen by an onlooker. If a text contains many dynamic verbs, it may indicate they want to spur the reader to take action.
Stative verbs denote a state of mind, which tends to be invisible to an onlooker. Many stative verbs used in a text may suggest the producer wants the reader to think deeply on their writing or that they don’t wish to inspire change.
