the english verb system has three aspects: simple, continuous and perfect. |

these aspects refer to how the speaker sees the event or situation. |
| 57 |
we usually use simple verb forms to talk about things that are repeated, permanent or completed: more people speak english more than any other language (permanent); he always recommends people use globish (repeated); we visited one acting class (completed). |
| 58 |
we usually use continuous verb forms to talk about things that are in progress, temporary or unfinished: the way people study english is also changing (temporary); a student was pretending to be the film star Orlando Bloom (in progress); the government has been building english immersion schools (unfinished). |
| 59 |
we usually use perfect verb forms to talk about things that connect two different time periods (the past and the present, etc.) |
| 60 |
we usually use passive verb forms when we focus on what happens to sb or sth rather than who or what does the action: about 75% of the world's correspondence is written in english; english was chosen as the working language of the japanese, french and chech staff. |

other common state verbs are: have got, hear, believe, agree, forget, mean, understand, like, hate, prefer, belong, own and cost. |
