An adverb can tell to what extent another adverb modifies a word. An adverb that modifies another adverb is called an intensifier.

Words that modify verbs, adjectives, or adverbs are adverbs. Definition: An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Adverbs answer the questions when, where, how, and to what extent (how much or how long).

Senior Member. As dojibear said, “hope” is not a stative verb. It has a continuous form and a simple form, just like any other non-stative verb. Any slight difference in meaning is the usual one between the continuous and simple verb forms.

Stative verbs often relate to: thoughts and opinions: agree, believe, doubt, guess, imagine, know, mean, recognise, remember, suspect, think, understand. feelings and emotions: dislike, hate, like, love, prefer, want, wish. senses and perceptions: appear, be, feel, hear, look, see, seem, smell, taste.

cannot always be changed to: “I hope that he will have his passport with him.” as the first one has both present and future meaning, but the second one can only have future meaning. So hope + the present tense is rather more flexible than hope + will, but sometimes they mean the same thing.

In English grammar, a stative verb is a verb used primarily to describe a state of being (I am) or situation (I have). It’s how something is, feels, or appears. These verbs don’t show physical action (I run) or processes (It prints).

Stative verbs do NOT refer to a physical action; they express a state or condition (things which are permanent; things which don’t have a beginning or end). Some examples of stative verbs are: like, love, believe, know, understand, have (when it means to own), prefer, hate.
