Its french translation ("devenir") is

Is the english definition of state verb (verbe d'état) the same as the
french one?

In french a state verb introduces an attribute

- I am intelligent / I am blue / I am a man / I am a human
- I become intelligent / I become blue / I become a man / I become a human
(so what are you???)
- I stay intelligent / I stay blue / I stay a man / I stay a human
- I seem intelligent / I seem blue / I seem to be a man / I seem to be a
human

It's not the same thing in english?

How do you call the verbs introducing an attribute?

maybe attributive verb, it's the other french name

if so can you help me to find others attributive verbs
