Grammar

state verb or action verb

State verb doesn't take continues form. Is it right?

One example of state verb is "have". Is it right or wrong if I say "I'm having dinner"? Please give me explanation about it!

How about "think" and "enjoy"? Are they state verbs?

Can we use think and enjoy in continues form?

For example :

I am thinking of you. 

We are enjoying the game.

Are the sentences above wrong? Or is it better if we say " I think of you" and "We enjoy the game"

 

Thanks for the answer

Too + adjective + a (indefinite article)

Hello there!

This is my very first post in this forum!

 

So, I've been enough confused by my English native friends in regard with the use of "too" in a sentence when there is an adjective and the "a" article. The problem for me is to know where I have to put the "a": before or after the "too"??

 

Ex1. I have too painful a headache.

Everybody says this is correct: "a" after the too + adj

 

How do I use If at all

Dear Friends,

I would like to know how to use if at all.

Please explain me with an example.

Or

I have given you an example please let me know is it correct.

"If at all the ball touches the bat deffinetely it would be 4"

Please tell me wether it is correct r not.
