- Động từ trạng thái miêu tả một trạng thái thay vì một hành động. Chúng thường ám chỉ suy nghĩ và ý kiến (agree - đồng ý, believe – tin tưởng, remember - nhớ, think - nghĩ, understand - hiểu), cảm giác và cảm xúc (hate - ghét), love - yêu thích), prefer - thích hơn), giác quan (appear – xuất hiện, feel – cảm thấy, hear – nghe thấy, look – trông có vẻ, see – nhìn thấy, seem – trông có vẻ, smell – ngửi, taste – có vị) và sự sở hữu (belong – thuộc về, have – có, own – sở hữu). Chúng thường không được sử dụng ở hình thức tiếp diễn. Tuy nhiên, một số động từ trạng thái có thể được sử dụng ở hình thức tiếp diễn để miêu tả hành động, tùy thuộc vào ngữ cảnh.
- Một động từ nối được sử dụng để liên kết chủ thể với một tính từ hoặc một danh từ miêu tả hoặc xác định chủ thể đó. Những liên động từ phổ biến bao gồm be (thì, là), seem (có vẻ như), look (trông có vẻ), become (trở nên), appear (xuất hiện), sound (nghe có vẻ), taste (nếm/ có vị), và smell (ngửi).
