In "Understanding English Grammar" by Betty Schrampfer Azar I have read that these verbs can have both stative and progressive meanings. But I can't find examples with some of them used as progressive verbs. These are the verbs I am asking about. "Doubt" and "include". It also lists these verbs: "be", "want", "imagine", "think", "remember", "forget", "mean", "have", "feel", "cost" and "weigh".

I have seen examples with them; "Why are you being so rude?" "You are imagining/hearing things", "I am having a shower right now", etc, but I can't find examples with "doubt" and "include" used with "ing".

I'm telling you the truth. Are you doubting my word?

We won't be including you on our Christmas card list this year.
