of a sentence.

What's the Difference Between a Dynamic Verb and a Stative Verb?

A dynamic verb (such as run, ride, grow, throw) is primarily used to indicate an action, process,
or sensation. In contrast, a stative verb (such as be, have, seem, know) is primarily used to describe
a state or situation. (Because the boundary between dynamic and stative verbs can be fuzzy, it's
generally more useful to talk of dynamic and stative meaning and usage.)
