Define non action verbs
Non action verbs are verbs that show a state. For example, go, stay etc. They are also called passive verbs. These are used to describe states rather than things or actions. They can also be used to describe conditions or being, though not all non-action verbs use this type of structure. This type of verb is used to describe events that do not involve physical movement. It describes how something happens or how a person feels, for example: “I was upset”.
