Exclamation Enjoy? stative verb? or other verb?
I'm really confused with "enjoy"

I thought "enjoy" is a stative verb, which can not be used in progressive aspect.

However, I found many sentences in progressive.

I need to know how it works.

Please give me some clues to understand.


Also, happy new year~!

Welcome, dewfull.

Some verbs can be both state and action verbs depending on their meaning.

Thankyou very much for the link, Casiopea.... I've been trying to find a test and further examples on this subject, with little luck on here so far!

Have a great week,
