Like and love with verbs


We can use like and love and with an -ing form or with a to-infinitive. We often use the -ing form to suggest a general
enjoyment (or lack of it), and the to-infinitive form to express habits or preferences when we personally do the action.
I like to cook pasta on Sundays.
The to-infinitive gives more emphasis to the results of the action or
He loves to give flowers to his mom on her birthday.
event. (you enjoy at specific moment) you personally do the action and
They like to travel on summer.
you enjoy it. It’s more used in American English.
I love to dance. (now or at specific moment)
I love going to the cinema
The -ing form emphasizes the action or experience in general. You like
He likes cooking pasta
the activity maybe you do it or maybe you just like the idea of doing it.
They like telling stories
It’s more used in British English.
