I believe you can sometimes.
Some stative verbs can be also be considered as active verbs, depending on the context the verb is used in. As such, they may be used in the continuous tenses. Since these stative/active verbs are a âspecial caseâ, you will just have to learn and remember which ones they are. Eventually, they will become second nature to you. đ

Examples:
HAVE (a stative verb)
âI have an old car.â (state â possession)
âšâI've been having a quick break.â (action â having a break is an activity)
TASTE (a stative verb)
âThis coffee tastes delicious.â (state â our perception of the coffee)
âšâThe chef has been tasting the soup.â (action â tasting the soup is an activity)
