No estudo da língua inglesa, um ponto gramatical de grande importância são os verbos estativos, também conhecidos como Stative Verbs. Esses verbos são usados para descrever estados, sentimentos, percepções ou qualidades, ao invés de ações em progresso. Eles geralmente não são usados na forma contínua e incluem verbos como ‘believe’ (acreditar), ‘know’ (saber), ‘like’ (gostar), entre outros. Aprender a utilizá-los corretamente é fundamental para adquirir fluência e naturalidade no inglês.
Os exercícios a seguir têm como objetivo praticar o uso dos Stative Verbs. Em cada frase, um dos verbos deve ser colocado na forma correta. Lembre-se de que, embora a maioria dos Stative Verbs não apareça nas formas contínuas, há exceções e usos específicos em que isso pode ocorrer. Esteja atento a esses detalhes enquanto completa as lacunas com o verbo que julgar correto. Boa sorte!
