The present continuous tense is very common in English,
but some verbs are usually not used in it (or in any tense
showing the continuous aspect). Here is a list of some
common verbs that are not usually continuous:

Example sentences:

not this: I'm believing you.
but this: I believe you.

not this: That car is costing $22,000.
but this: That car costs $22,000.

not this: He's hating to get up early.
but this: He hates to get up early.

not this: You're owing me five dollars!
but this: You owe me five dollars!

not this: Is this sentence seeming correct?
but this: Does this sentence seem correct?

not this: Coffee is tasting bitter.
but this: Coffee tastes bitter.

Special Note:

Some of the above verbs (the ones with *) have
more than one meaning, however, and at least one
of those meanings can be used in continuous tenses.
We'll take a look at these verbs in the next Hint.
