Intensive verbs focus on the action itself, while extensive verbs focus on the result or duration of the action. Stative verbs describe a state or condition that is typically not dynamic, while dynamic verbs describe actions or processes that are evolving or in progress.

A stative adjective is a descriptor which refers to a trait or characteristic that is not conditional such as color, shape or texture. For example: "He is tall." A dynamic adjective is conditional on the circumstances and may change. This may include an attitude or state of mind. For example: "He is being obnoxious."

You can probably use the word mꜥr, that means "to be fortunate, to be successful" The infinite of the verb would probably sound something like /ˈmaːʕar/, because it's a strong triliteral verb, the perfective active participle (adjective, someone who is fortunate) of it would sound like /ˈmaːʕir/ and the stative form would be /ˈmaʕr. + (any stative suffix pronoun)/

No, "pretend" is not an action verb. It is actually a verb that falls into the category of stative or state verbs. Stative verbs describe a state or condition rather than an action. In the case of "pretend," it describes a mental state or an imagined scenario rather than a physical action.

^ In this answer doubting is used as a verb. The word doubting can be used as a verb (somehow informal because DOUBT is a stative verb). It can also be used as an adjective according to some dictionaries (although dubious would be the best word)
It was a very doubting/dubious answer (an adjective)

ANSWER 'Want' is certainly used as a verb, for example, 'I want a cookie'. I think your question is: Can we use 'want' in a continuous tense? (For example, *'I am wanting a cookie'). We don't usually use a verb like want (a 'stative verb') in a continuous tense, though native speakers may do so occasionally to stress the temporary nature of the action. It's also more common in some dialects, like Scottish Highland English.

Present continuous is formed with am/is/are + the present participle. The present participle is always verb + -ing= believing.
HOWEVER believe is a state/stative verb and we usually don't use state verbs in the continuous form so am believing, is believing, are believing is not correct.
Present simple - I believe, he believes, they believe - is correct

An adjective can come after some verbs, such as: be, become, feel, get, look, seem, smell, sound
Even when an adjective comes after the verb and not before a noun, it always refers to and qualifies thesubject of the sentence, not the verb.
Look at the examples below: subject verbadjective
- Ram is English.
- Because she had to wait, she becameimpatient.
- Is it getting dark?
- The examination did not seem difficult.
- Your friend looks nice.
- This towel feels damp.
- That new film doesn't sound very interesting.
- Dinner smells good tonight.
- This milk tastes sour.
- It smells bad.
These verbs are "stative" verbs, which express a state or change of state, not "dynamic" verbs which express an action. Note that some verbs can be stative in one sense (she looks beautiful | it got hot), and dynamic in another (she looked at him | he got the money). The above examples do not include all stative verbs.
Note also that in the above structure (subject verbadjective), the adjective can qualify a pronoun since the subject may be a pronoun.

Because the '-ing' endingis what is known as a gerund - it generally denotes an on-going process - "he is running", where it functions as a noun. In the belief situation it is a current status - "I believe you" is best.
CORRECTIONS (Dec. 2, 2015 by Kezia)
No, in that case, "believing" and "running" is still a verb. If the sentence was "My believing in you is unreal" or "My running shouldn't be the cause of your sadness," then "believing" and "running" are considered to be gerunds.

Stative verbs refer to a state that remains the same, to a changeless situation. In English language, there are verbs that are not normality used in the continuous tense because they describe rather a state than an action. They are called Stative verbs or non- progressive verbs.
They generally fall into four groups:
1) Verbs showing thought or opinion: know, believe,…..
2) Verbs showing possession: have, own, belong, possess,…..
3) Verbs showing sense: hear, smell, seen,….
4) Verbs showing emotion: love, hate, want, need,…..
Some verbs can be both state and action verbs depending on their meaning.
· I think you made a mistake. (Think = believe, state verb)
· I am thinking about my life now. (Think = mental process, action verb)
· I have two cars. (have = possess, own state verb)
· I am having my lunch now. (have = eat, action verb)
· I am seeing my friend tomorrow morning. (See = meeting with, action verb)
· I see what you mean. (See = understand state verb)
The most important difference between Stative and action verbs is that action verbs can be used in continuous tenses but Stative verbs cannot.
Action verbs are verbs that specifically describe what the subject of the sentence is doing. These types of verbs carry a great deal of information in a sentence and can convey emotion and a sense of purpose that extends beyond the literal meanings of the words.
The power of the action verbs lies in the meaning and intention that they bring direction and force to the sentence.
The verbs that can be used in the continuous tense are called action verbs.
· She is studying with Tom at the moment.
· They have been working since seven o'clock at night.
An action verb with a direct object is transitive while an action verb with on direct object is intransitive. Other action verbs can be transitive or intransitive, depending on what follows in the sentence.
· In the spring, he will run his first marathon {run transitive verb}.
· During his practice, he runs over hills across the river.{Runs intransitive verb}
Process verbs: are characterized by a change in the state without any reference to what caused the change to take place. Unlike the subject of an action verb, the subject of a process verb, does neither consciously nor unconsciously control the process.
