smell, sound, taste, etc.– Verbs of perception; believe, forget, know, realise,
remember, understand, etc.– Verbs which express feelings and emotions; desire,
detest, enjoy, hate, like, prefer, want, etc.– And some other verbs; be, belong, contain, cost, fit,
have, include, keep, matter, need, owe, own, want, weigh, wish, etc.
– Some of these verbs can be used in continuous tense but different meaning; think, have, see, taste, smell, appear, fit
