Hi Khurshid
There are verbs that are rarely or not often used in continuous tenses (i.e. they are mostly used in simple tenses), and these are often called "non-continuous verbs". This is only a general guideline, not an absolute rule. Have a look here for examples of such verbs: http://esl.about.com/od/grammarintermediate/a/noncontinuous.htm . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

Hi Daemon
Yes, that was me. Thank you for the nice compliment! However, I've now changed my picture -- I've now uploaded my "Halloween avatar". That's also a picture of me. :lol:
My other picture will return after Halloween. ;) . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
