The sunrises inthe east (= repeated) When 've read the book, lllenditto you. (= complete) ‘She has red hair. (= permanent) He always wore asuit. (=a habit) Itrained every day ofour holiday. 2 Remember the verbs that rarely use the continuous aspect. This is because they express states that are seen to be permanent. Verbs of the mind: know understand believe think mean Verbs of emotions: love hate lke prefer care Verbs of possession: have own belong Certain other verbs: cost need contain depend 3 The simple aspect expresses a completed action.

(= temporary) What are you doing on your hands and knees?(= in progress) ve been learning English for years. (And | still am.) ‘Donttphone at 8.00, We'll be eating.

Iwas writing a report on the fight home. (I didn't finish it.) ‘Hewas drowning, but we saved him. (He didn't die) Who's been drinking my beer? (There's some left) 4. The action of some verbs always lasts along time, for example, live, and work. The continuous gives these actions limited duration and ‘makes them temporary. Hans is living in London white he's learning English Ym working as a waiter until go to university. 5. Theaction of some other verbs lasts a short time, for example, lose, break, cut, hit, crash.
