Action / Non-action verbs (Dynamic / Stative)

*I am knowing English.
	- WRONG, because “know” is a stative verb (non-action), so it can’t be continuous

Many verbs can have both action and non-action meanings:
- I have one sister. (non-action = possession)
- I’m having a party. (action = throwing)
- I’m having dinner. (action = eating)
- I’m having a good time. (action = experiencing)
- She’s having a daughter. (action = bearing)

Non-actions don’t take time. Any number of non-action sentences can be true at once.
Actions take time. There’s a limit to how many actions you can do at once.
