Talking about Likes and Dislikes

Hi students!

Let's talk about how to express LIKES and DISLIKES in English Language.
(hablemos sobre como expresar GUSTOS y DISGUSTOS en el idioma inglés)

We can express LIKES with the verbs like /enjoy /love, and DISLIKES with the verb hate /don't like.
(podemos expresar GUSTOS con los verbos like -gustar, enjoy -disfrutar y love -amar; y DISGUSTO con el verbo hate -odiar o usando don't like -disgustar)

1. We use the Present simple tense to talk about things we like and people we like.
   (usamos el tiempo presente simple para hablar sobre cosas y gente que nos gusta)

Example:
I like Pizza.
She likes dogs.
Tom likes Madonna.

2. We use the Present simple tense to talk about activities we enjoy doing.
   (usamos el tiempo presente simple para hablar sobre actividades que disfrutamos hacer)

   *Look at the structure: S + verb (like/enjoy/love) + activity (verb-ing)
     (mira la estructura)

Example:
I like simming.
Susan enjoys listening to music.
Ricky likes travelling.

3. We use the Present simple tense to talk about people and things we don't like.
   (usamos el tiempo presente simple para hablar sobre personas y cosas que nos desagradan)

Use don't/ doesn't instead do not / does not when you speak, and for informal writing.
 (usa don't/ doesn't en lugar de do not / does not al hablar, y para escribir informalmente)


Example:
I don't like fast food.
I don't like rude people.
she doesn't like sport.
My cousin doesn't like dancing hip-hop.
