Verbs for Likes and Dislikes
We use special verbs to express what we like and dislike. Common verbs for liking things are 'like', 'love', and 'enjoy'. For things we don't like, we use 'don't like', 'hate', and 'can't stand'. These verbs help us share our preferences clearly.
- Use 'like', 'love', 'enjoy' for positive feelings.
- Use 'don't like', 'hate', 'can't stand' for negative feelings.
Grammar Rule: Verb + -ing
When you use these verbs to talk about an activity, the next verb needs to end in -ing. This is called the 'gerund' form. For example, you say 'I like reading books' or 'He loves playing football'. Remember this rule for activities!
- When talking about an activity, add -ing to the action verb.
- Example: 'I like reading' and 'She enjoys listening'.
Likes/Dislikes with Nouns and Asking Questions
You can also use these verbs with nouns (things or people) directly, without -ing. For example, 'I like pizza' or 'She loves her cat'. To ask others about their preferences, you can use questions like 'Do you like...?' or 'What do you like...?'
- Use verbs with nouns directly (e.g., 'I like pizza').
- Ask questions using 'Do you like...?' or 'What do you like...?'
Zanimivosti
- When expressing a general preference for an activity, 'verb + -ing' is very common.
- You can use 'like' with a noun, like 'I like pizza'.
