http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stative_verbs:
The same verb may act as stative or dynamic. An English phrase like
"he plays the piano" may be either stative or dynamic, according to
context.
Could someone elaborate, exactly according to what context can "he plays the piano" be stative, and according to what context can "he plays the piano" be dynamic ?
