SPECIAL CASES
2.1. NON-ACTION VERBS
Non-action verbs zijn speciale werkwoorden die normaal gezien alleen in de simple present
kunnen worden gebruikt. Als je die werkwoorden krijgt in een situatie die normaal om de
present contiuous vraagt, gebruik je dus toch de simple present. Een klein voorbeeld:
- to see kan niet in de continuous voorkomen in de betekenis “zien”
- to see kan echter ook betekenen “een relatie hebben met”. In dat geval kan het wel in
de continuous: I’m seeing Jane.
Deze werkwoorden kunnen dus ook niet voorkomen in de present perfect contiuous (gebruikt
present perfect), past continuous (gebruik simple past), future continuous (gebruik simple
future), past perfect continuous (gebruik past perfect) of future perfect continuous (gebruik
future perfect).
