What is the relationship between intensive extensive stative and dynamic verbs?

An intensive verb is the one that is used to describe a state/ being. For instance, He is an artist OR The kids are ecstatic/sorry. In the example 1, the verb "is" is used describe that the person 'is' (being) an artist. And example 2, the verb describes the kids' state i.e. ecstatic or sorry. An extensive verb is the one that describes action of the person. Eg. Jaan dances well, extensive verb dances. Other more complex forms of verbs are extensive verbs too. A typical example of a stative verb can be the verb "understand". This means you cannot say, "I am understanding". Love, hate, believe, etc. are some more examples of stative verbs. A dynamic verb is one that doesnot have this restriction. To know whether a verb is stative or dynamic, consult a good dictionary. Different dictionaries use different ways to indicate this. You might see labels such as stative or dynamic. Or some dictionaries do not label dynamic verbs. That is, if there is no mention, it goes without saying that it is a dynamic verb. However, you will find some mention like, "not used in the progressive tenses" beside stative verbs.
