What are stative verbs?

Re: Verbs

The difference between stative and dynamic verbs is as follows:

Stative verbs describe a state or condition (such as "reside" or "ride").
Dynamic verbs describe a change in state or condition (such as "settle" or "mount").

It's kind of hard to get the hang of the distinction at first.
