§Grammar and usage
Stative verbs such as know, understand, believe, love, own and contain are not usually used in continuous tenses, so 'I am knowing him' is wrong and 'I know him' is correct.
Know, understand, believe, love, own और contain जैसी stative verbs आमतौर पर continuous tense में प्रयोग नहीं होतीं, इसलिए 'I am knowing him' गलत है और 'I know him' सही है।
Usage: some verbs, such as think, have and see, are stative in one meaning and dynamic in another, as in 'I think so' and 'I am thinking about it'.
Usage में think, have और see जैसी कुछ verbs एक अर्थ में stative और दूसरे अर्थ में dynamic होती हैं, जैसे 'I think so' और 'I am thinking about it'।
