 ## Usage {/*usage*/}
 
-### Display a pending state during form submission {/*display-a-pending-state-during-form-submission*/}
+### Display a pending state during form submission {/*display-a-pending-state-during-form-submission*/}`useFormStatus` will also report `pending: true` if a form submission handler calls `event.preventDefault()` and starts a Transition using `startTransition`. This is useful when handling custom form submissions without the `action` prop.
 To display a pending state while a form is submitting, you can call the `useFormStatus` Hook in a component rendered in a `<form>` and read the `pending` property returned.
 
 Here, we use the `pending` property to indicate the form is submitting.
