verb like
Present Simple (verb to like)
USE (Think in ENGLISH!)
Subject + verb to like + NOUN
When we talk about nouns (what is a noun?) after the verb to like we talk about things in general therefore we use THE PLURAL FORM for countable nouns.
EXAMPLES:
- I like mangoes. ( NOT: i like a mango)
- Do you like dogs or cats?
- What kind of movies does your friend like?
NOTE:
With nouns that are UNCOUNTABLE (nouns you cannot form in plural e.g. RICE, WATER, MUSIC) we DO NOT put it in a plural form obviously.
Examples:
- Maria likes beer. (NOT: Maria likes beers because beer in an uncountable noun in English)
- What kind of music do you like?
- I like Italian food.
