LIKE + VERB-ING
 LIKE + VERB-ING
Infinitives
Before we look at like + verb-ing, we need to learn
about infinitives.
● I want to sleep. Quiero dormir.
How many verbs are here?
There are two verbs.
Verb 1. want and
Verb 2. to sleep.
 The verb sleep has the word TO before it. This means the verb
is in its infinitive form: to sleep.
To + verb is called an infinitive. To sleep is an infinitive verb.
VERBS AFTER LIKE
With the verb LIKE there are two ways of putting a verb after it.
You can say:

AFFIRMATIVE
● I LIKE TO SLEEP. (This is like + infinitive – which we have already seen)
But with the verb LIKE, we frequently use a verb ending in ING after it.
● I LIKE SLEEPING.
Sleeping is a verb ending in ING.
Another example. You can say:
● I like to eat chocolate. …. OR you can say …
● I like eating chocolate.
 Is there a difference?
In general there isn’t a difference in meaning, though we sometimes use
the infinitive (TO + VERB) to talk about habits or choices.
● I like to eat chocolate for breakfast.
(This is my habit or my choice).
● I like eating chocolate.
(This is more about what I like doing in general)
However, using a VERB+ING is more common than using an infinitive.

NEGATIVE SENTENCES WITH LIKE + Verb-ING

To make negative sentences we use the rules of DON’T and DOESN’T before
like.
● I like writing essays. … becomes …
I don’t like writing essays.
● He likes mowing the lawn. … becomes …
He doesn’t like mowing the lawn.
 Remember there is no S at the end of the verb in negative sentences and
questions.
More examples of negative sentences with like + verb-ing:
● I don’t like waiting.
● He doesn’t like eating spinach.
● They don’t like going to the doctor.
● She doesn’t like cleaning the house.

QUESTIONS with LIKE + Verb-ING

To make questions we use the rules of DO and DOES at the
beginning of the question.
● They like playing chess.
TO MAKE A QUESTION WITH THEY WE USE DO / DOES at the
beginning, so it becomes…
● Do they like playing chess? Yes, They do.
 Another example:
● She likes baking cakes.
To make a question with she we use DOES at the beginning, so it
becomes…
● Does she like baking cakes? Yes, She does
Remember there is no S at the end of the verb in negative
sentences and questions.

More examples of questions with like + verb-ing:

● Do you like blowing bubbles?
● Do they like taking selfies?
● Does John like listening to music?
● Does your grandmother like going to the gym?
