Slide 11: 

There is one more thing we should remember: Some verbs usually do not have –ing. For example we say I know you. We would never say I am knowing you. That’s because know cannot have –ing. Verbs that cannot have –ing are called stative verbs. Here is a list of stative verbs. They rarely have –ing. Therefore, they are rarely used with the past perfect progressive. Stative Verbs Know Understand Tend Perceive Owe Suppose Possess Have Belong Conclude Prefer Contain Love Equal Believe Be Decide Like Resemble Seem *have- with the meaning of possesion (I have a pen.) Because these verbs cannot be used w/ the past perfect progressive, you can just use the past perfect with since and for. Incorrect:Before you told me the news about Phil’s car. I had been knowing about it for 2 days. Correct:Before you told me the news about Phil’s car, I had known about it for 2 days.

The Future Perfect Progressive Tense :
