Here is a nice explanation of non-action verbs at ESLGold.com:
(This website has a lot of ads, so you have to scroll down to look for the grammar lesson)
"Some verbs cannot be used in the progressive tenses. They are called non-action verbs. Non-action verbs indicate state, sense, desire, possession, or opinion."
This explanation is followed by a list of non-action verbs and examples of how to use these verbs in sentences.There is also a list of verbs that have both action and non-action meanings, such as have, look, and think. Often these verbs require a preposition when they are used as action verbs in the present progressive tense:
John is thinking about his girlfriend.
I am looking at a beautiful sunset.
