LIKE+GERUND
 Like followed by a gerund verb is the
normal way to use the verb to like in
English. It expresses exactly the same
thing as our verb to like —that we like
something in general.
• I like reading
• She likes swimming
• They like cooking

Like followed by -ing is the normal way to use the verb like
in the present or past tense, always with the sense that we
like, or we liked, to do something in a general way.
