Key structures：The present(continuous and simple)：
Stative verbs
a A further selection of stative verbs is presented(see KS26 c).
b Note that hope is not used in the present continuous when
it expresses an immediate or spontaneous thought, e. g. It feels
cold today. I hope(that)it isn't going to snow. But it can be used
in the present continuous if it expresses a long-standing hope that
something may or may not happen：He's been waiting to hear from
them for months and he's still hoping(that)they'll contact him.
Pattern drill
1 Look at him! He's kicking the dog.-I refuse to look at anyone
who kicks dogs.
A contrast is drawn between he's kicking(i. e. now, at the
moment of speaking)and anyone who kicks(i. e. who makes a habit
of kicking).Refuse is a stative verb and therefore not usually used
in the continuous forms.
2 Why are you buying a Ford(i. e. now)?-Why don't you buy a
Fiat? The simple present is used to make a suggestion.
I prefer Fords. Prefer is a stative verb.
3 Why on earth is she buying that hat(i. e. now)?-I expect
she likes it. Expect is a stative verb when it means think, suppose
and is followed by a that-clause.
4 I'm expecting her to arrive any minute now. When expect is
used in the present continuous it is similar to wait for and takes
a direct object. Compare：I expect(that)she'll arrive soon(expect
= think, suppose; see Pattern drill 3).
It is possible to say：I expect her(to arrive)any minute now,
but the continuous form is probably more usual and makes‘her
arrival’ seem more definite.
Repetition drill
