Read the sentences of the pictures:
LIKE
How can we express preferences?
Look at these verbs:
►In English we say:
"I like this room"
" We like these apples"
►Examine theses sentences more closely:
I = subject
like = verb
this room = direct object
►Notice that the subject of the sentence is the person (I / We) and the direct object is the thing.
Read the sentences of the pictures:
►Important
SUBJECT + LIKE + VERB
► When we use a verb as a complement, we use the verb in the -ING FORM:
(infinitve+-ing)
"I like going to the beach"
"Do you like dancing?"
"I don't like cooking"
We use the same structure with LOVE / HATE.
