NON ACTION VERBS : can not be used in progressive *some non action verbs used in both ways please pay attention to those marked by (*) non action verbs : be* seem, appear* have*, own, possess like, want, prefer, look*, smell*, taste* I am ready Subject + verb(be)+ adjective ( I think the word "ready" made you confused this is an ADJECTIVE like others, I am healthy, I am tired, I am succesfull, I am handsome, etc. as I mentioned above "be" can be used in both ways She was being* questioned at the police station, when her lawyer appeared at the door. She looks* exhausted everyday. She was looking* out of the window. I am run-ing on the road Subject+verb (progressive -ing)+object the verb RUN is an action verb and used in Present Continuous Tense like any other progressive tenses. I am jumping, I am having* my breakfast, I am studying, other progressive tenses: I was running on the road I have been running on the road. I had been running on the road.

Bunca yıllık İngilizce öğretmeniyim, "action" ve "noaction" ayrımını ilk kez burada gördüm (öğrenmenin yaşı yokmuş!) ve iyi ki de daha önce görmemişim; iyi ki öğrencilerim bundan habersizmiş! Bu türden bilgilerin ne işe yaradığını asla anlayamadım!
