Taste in the progressive

[Rachel Adams]

Hello.

Can I use the verb "taste" in the progressive? "The jam is tasting more and more sweet."

 

[Rover_KE]

I don't see why not.

 

[jutfrank]

Yes, in the right context.

 

[Rachel Adams]

Yes, in the right context.

I was thinking about the verbs that are not usually used in the progressive. About "Smell" "hear" and "taste". But maybe in the right context "hear" and "smell" are also possible in the progressive?

Is the maker of the jam constantly improving their product?

 

[Phaedrus]

Yes, in the right context.

I am eating less and less sugar these days. The jam is tasting more and more sweet.

I, too, am eating less and less sugar these days, but my jam tastes sweeter. I wouldn't go for the progressive there even as I try/am trying to shed the odd kilo.
