Here is your English Lesson "Which verbs don't have a continuous form?"

Tick the correct sentence in each pair.

1 a I think this spaghetti is great
   b I'm thinking this spaghetti is great
2 a I don't know the answer to the question.
   b I'm not knowing the answer to the question.

We do not use the continuous form with the following verbs which describe thoughts and feelings: believe, depend, forget, hate, know, like, love, mean, need, prefer, remember, understand, want

Some common verbs have more than one meaning. We do not use the continuous form when think means believe and when have refers to possession. Compare:
I think it's going to rain soon. and
I'm thinking about becoming a teacher.
My sister has a new car
and
She isn't at home now. She's having a driving lesson.

We do not usually use the continuous form with hear, smell and taste. We can use seeing when it refers to meeting someone in the future. We often use can with hear, smell, taste and see to describe what is happening now. Compare:
I (can) see two women in the picture. and
I'm seeing my sister tomorrow evening.

We use both the continuous and simple form of look and feel to talk about now:
You' re looking tired. What's the matter? and
You look tired. What's the matter?
I'm feeling nervous about my exams.
and I feel nervous about my exams.
