Here's why:
* Stative verbs describe states of being, feelings, thoughts, or possession. They generally do not describe actions.
* Dynamic verbs describe actions or processes.
Examples:
* Stative: I am happy. (Describes a state of being)
* Dynamic: She runs quickly. (Describes an action)
The verb "be" is often used in a stative sense, expressing a state of existence or identity:
* He is a doctor. (Describes his profession)
* The book is on the table. (Describes its location)
While "be" can sometimes be used in a dynamic sense (e.g., "He is becoming a doctor"), its primary function is as a stative verb.
