Let´s begin…
Verbs that express

preferences, likes and dislikes:
love, enjoy, like and hate

When you want to express preferences, likes and dislikes, most of the time we use the simple present tense
with the verbs "love", "enjoy", "like" to express likes and "hate", to express dislikes habitually.
These verbs are regularly accompanied by two types of words: nouns and verbs. Let’s see the difference:
Nouns..
When you use a noun, it can be substituted by a pronoun and it can be with or without an adjective. The
sentence has only one action, the feeling.
• I love sport cars

• She likes horror movies
• We enjoy tropical music
• They hate bananas
• He doesn’t like spinach
• He doesn’t enjoy parties
• Mike doesn’t love animals
• Susan doesn’t hate you
Verbs…
a) A verb in infinitive form. It is used to refer to a particular moment or situation.
• I love to watch this movie,

• I like to eat this dish, it is delicious
• We hate to see people like that man
• We don’t like to travel by subway today
• Mike looks boring, he doesn’t like to see this game
Note: The verb “enjoy” is never followed by a verb in infinitive form.

5
b) A gerund form. It is used to refer to situations in general, routinely or habitually events.
• I love watching box fights

• I hate playing soccer salsa
• Mary likes driving
• We hate eating meat
• The girls don’t love working on Sundays
• Tom doesn’t enjoy singing in public
• I don’t hate playing soccer
Note: The verb “enjoy” is always followed by a verb in gerund form. In this unit you are going to
practice to know and practice these verbs with other verbs.
Structure
The verbs love, enjoy, like and dislike follow the same structure of the simple present tense.
Look at the following charts to remember the structure of the simple present tense.

Infinitive form or gerund form?

In general, when you want to use two verbs together in a sentence in English, you have
only two options.
Example: The verbs that are

-1- always followed by
another verb in its
You use “to” between the two • I want to work infinitive form are:
• We need to study agree, arrange, decide,
verbs, that is after the first deserve, expect, fail,
• Susan deserves to win

• Mike plans to travel learn, offer, plan,
form in the second verb promise, refuse, remind
• They decide to go
and want.

Example:
• I avoid working on Sundays The verbs that are

• Tom enjoys playing soccer always followed by
-2- another verb in its
with us gerund form are: admit,
Some verbs require the • Sharon finishes working at appreciate, avoid,
consider, deny, enjoy,

(ING ending) • Alice practices playing the miss, practice, quit,
regret, resent, suggest

and postpone
• John admits copying during
his exams
-3-
There are some verbs that can be followed by
They are: begin,
verbs in the infinitive form or in the gerund form, continue, hate, like, love, prefer, start,
stop and try
with a little difference in meaning if you use one
or other form. That is they can use both forms
Check the following presentation on the rules about gerund spelling.

They will make your life much easier!!!
• General Rule
The general rule when changing a verb into its gerund form is only to add -ing:
o watch - watching
o sleep - sleeping
Example:
o My sister loves watching movies, I’m sure she’ll come with us.
o Natalie can’t bear sleeping late, she probably fall asleep already.
10
• Exception 1
If the verb ends in an E we remove the E and add –ing.
o Come - Coming
o Arrive - Arriving
Example:
o Denisse hates coming early to work, that’s why she has the second shift.
o I prefer arriving home earlier than when it’s already dark.
• Exception 2
If the verb ends in a consonant + vowel + consonant, we double the final consonant and add -ing.
o Get - Getting
Example:
o I don’t mind getting there late, don’t worry, finish your meal.

An Olympic blog
What an Olympics!
Posted by Helen Nolan on 10 September, 2012 at 21:25
It’s all over! I’ve been writing my blog from London every day during the Olympics and the
Paralympics and this is my final post to look back on a wonderful couple of months. Here are
some of the things that were the most memorable for me:
The Opening Ceremony

This set the scene for the Games with an amazing show featuring music, dancing, historical
figures, fireworks and British humor. A huge number of volunteers practiced for months to make
everything perfect. The best moment was when the old lady in Buckingham Palace turned round
and showed that she was neither a lookalike nor an actor but Her Majesty the Queen. The next
best bit was when she jumped out of a helicopter with James Bond (although I think that actually
was an actor!).
Team GB
I was very proud of our team as we kept on winning medals and finished in third position in the
medal table, which is truly a great result for Great Britain. There were so many incredible
sportsmen and women. The ones that stand out for me are Mo Farah, the Somalian-born
Londoner who won the 10,000 and 5,000 meters with the whole stadium going crazy, Jessica
Ennis, the popular super-athlete from Sheffield who won the heptathlon, and Nicola Adams who
won the first female boxing medal in Olympic history for Britain.
The Olympic Stadium crowd

Although the crowd cheered on the British, there was lots of support for athletes of other
nationalities too like the wonderful Usain Bolt, from Jamaica, who won the 100 and 200 meters
sprint to become the fastest man alive. There was also Oscar Pistorius of South Africa who was
the first disabled person to compete in the Olympics. He went on to win two gold medals and a
silver in the Paralympics.
New sports
I have really enjoyed being able to watch sports which are not normally shown on television.
Before the Olympics I didn’t expect to love watching judo or find myself screaming at the
26
television during a game of wheelchair tennis, but I really got into them. I didn’t know anything
about goalball before the Paralympics but it became one of my favorite sports.
The organization and the atmosphere

It took seven years of planning and 70,000 volunteers to make everything go well.
Many people have said that the organization was not as perfect as that of the Beijing
Games, but there was a much better atmosphere which spread out through the whole
city. The volunteers were always friendly and helpful and Londoners even began
talking to each other, and visitors, on the underground trains!
