<p>Stative verbs are a class of adjectives or descriptive words that behave in certain ways in sentences. Sometimes they can function like verbs. There are many of them, so I doubt there is a finite list. You may want to read up on them here:</p>

Thank you for links (and a well list of modifiers), although i already know about the rules of these words (There are many of them which are used as stative verbs with common grammatical rules). I see they are 16 in 292 first characters (if i didn't miss any) so they would be around 6% (as single hanzis) ?  only a list would help us :-)
